Them
(FRANKFURT) Hrant Dink, editor of Agos, Armenian weekly said `Europe
had a crucial role in the 1915 tragedies and abused the Armenian
issue'. Dink further added that `Europe still uses the Armenians'.
Armenian journalist Hrant Dink argued the European politicians use
Armenians for their political interests. Dink gave a speech in
Frankfurt, Germany and accused the European politicians.
Dink also accused the German CDU's Angela Merkel:
`I like to ask my friends in Armenian Diaspora. `Do you think Merkel
loves you very much? Or, the reason is the Diaspora's pressures?
Neither love, nor the pressure. Merkel's problem is different. Merkel
tries to prevent Turkey's EU membership.'
Dink claimed the Armenian tragedies are still being used by the
European politicians.
