    Armenian Genocide

    TURKEY WILL TRY TO FIND SOME MEANS TO CONDEMN ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

    Andrey Piontkovsky, head of the Russian Center for Strategic Studies,
    believes that "The Turkish authorities will try to find some means for
    condemning the Armenian Genocide under the pressure of Armenia and the
    Council of Europe." Mediamax informed that Piontkovsky said many EU member
    countries doubt about Turkey's membership, believing that the admission of a
    non-Christian country will change the mentality of the European society.

    "They will take advantage of such a fact as Ankara's position in the issue
    of the genocide to hinder Turkey's membership. But, on the other hand, I am
    surprised at the attempts of the Turkish elite to give up many prejudices of
    the past. That is why, I foresee the following in this situation: Turkey
    will try to find some means of condemning the Armenian Genocide under the
    pressure of Armenia and the CE."

    Sergey Mikheev, expert at the Center for Political Technologies, differs in
    his opinion a bit. He believes that the demand of the EU to recognize the
    Armenian genocide can be a mere "veil."

    "One should realize that the real interests are the main priorities. The
    rest is nothing more than a technological veiling. If the accession of
    Turkey is in the EU's interests, Turkey will be accepted to the EU
    notwithstanding the fact whether they have recognized the genocide or not.
    But, if the EU and the European elite is interested in continuing to exert
    pressure over Turkey, the issue of the Armenian genocide's recognition will
    be used as a means pressing upon Turks," Sergey Mikheev believed.
