Armenian budget project of 2005 became a hot subject for Turkish and
Azeri printed media that keeps on confusing the world community by
stating that Armenia is removing the Armenian genocide issue from
its foreign policy agenda.
Sticking to their methods of disorientation Turkish newspapers do
not even shrink from mentioning names of Diaspora Armenians.
November 9 issue of Aksham presents Gyuler Qyumurjuâ~@~Ys article
titled "Making Better Relations with Armeniaâ~@¦". The author
writes about "Islam and West", a scientific conference organized
by Israelâ~@~Ys Jewish University in Nice, France, on November
6-7. Former state minister of Turkey Kemal Dervish was also to
participate at the conference. "Starting with the former leader of
Mossad and ending with Washingtonâ~@~Ys know-all Richard Pearl were
present there", article reads.
Dervish changed his mind about participating at the conference at
the last moment. Author goes on telling about his meeting with
Alexy Gyovdjian and Samson Ozararat at the conference. Before
mentioning of the meeting Qyumurju writes about "historic step
taken in difficult relations with Armenia" and then adds: "After the
adherent of mild policy, Ter-Petrosian, President Robert Kocharian,
though maintaining tight relations with National Revolutionary Party
and Armenian organizations and lobbies of the world, took a positive
step towards Turkey. Armeniaâ~@~Ys state budget bill of 2005 already
taken to the parliament did not assign money for promoting genocide
acknowledgement as opposed to previous years. Only few weeks back
Armenian authorities stated that genocide acknowledgement is not a
precondition for improving relations with Turkey".
The second part of the article dwelling on Gyovdjian and Ozararat
reads: "While the Armenian government excludes genocide recognition
from priority list depriving it of money in 2005 budget, Armenian
lobbyists in France were putting on clothing of radicalism.
I talked to Alexy Gyovdjian (he was our citizen, comes from Istanbul
where he lived till 18-years-old) who led French-Armenians in their
hanker after recognition of April 24. Despite this fact, his comments
on Yerevanâ~@~Ys mild policy were approving.
Mr. Gyovdjian was also present at our talk with Samson Ozararat. In
90s he had meetings with Alparsan Tyurkesh, late president of National
Movement Party, within the frameworks of meetings directed to settle
Armenia and Turkey-related issues. The name of Mr. Samson is well-known
to those occupying high posts in State Planning Organization and
Sabaja Group. Ozararat firmly stands for Tyurkeshâ~@~Ys position
of â~@~Xovercoming genocide claims and beginning trade cooperation
between the two statesâ~@~Y and is willing that Turkey begins
diplomatic relations with Armenia. Right at that moment Gyovdjian
noted that he joins Ozararat for the sake of constructive policy and
is even ready to participate in the initiatives taken by Turkeyâ~@~Ys
organizations of civil society.
Back in Ankara the â~@~Xexpertâ~@~Y in the issue told me that we
are waiting for a positive response. Why are we slow in adjusting
Tyurkeshâ~@~Ys ideas to the present-day conditions and in modernizing
our approaches? Perhaps everything will become clear after 17 of
December".
