Yerevan, 7 December: One should not take "at face value" Turkish Prime
Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's recent statement during the opening of
the Armenian museum in Istanbul that ethnic groups living in Turkey are
native elements of that country and that Turkey has defended and will
defend their interests, Vaan Ovanesyan, deputy speaker of the Armenian
parliament and a member of the bureau of the Armenian Revolutionary
Federation - Dashnaktsutyun, told a press conference today.
Today Turkey is ready to say flattering words to the Armenian
people in order to successfully implement its far-reaching plans,
he said. However, the deputy speaker said, this is just an attempt
"to blow smoke" into the eyes of the international community and the
Armenian people.
