PM is right on Armenian issue, butâ~@¦ :
Hurriyet's Oktay Eksi focuses on Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's
remarks on the issue of the alleged Armenian genocide during a summit
of European heads of government in Warsaw.
Eksi reports that Armenian President Robert Kocharian said in front of
the prime minister that Armenia hopes to gain international recognition
of the Armenian genocide in Ottoman Turkey and thanked the countries
that supported Armenia in its bid to bring the so-called genocide
onto the international agenda.
"Erdogan, who didn't contest the Armenian president's remarks at the
time of Kocharian's speech, then held a press conference and leveled
harsh criticisms at Kocharian," said Eksi.
Concerning Erdogan's comments, Eksi says Erdogan threatened countries
that have passed resolutions backing genocide claims with a campaign
to pass counter-resolutions through the Turkish Parliament concerning
genocides carried out by those countries.
Eksi argued that passing resolutions through the Turkish Parliament
would be easy, but implementing them would not be.
In conclusion, Eksi says Turkey is charged with the task of showing
those countries that committed large-scale genocides the true stories
behind some of the darker days of their histories.
No way out:
Hurriyet's Bekir Coskun focuses on the performance of the ruling
Justice and Development Party (AKP) and says that wise people are now
looking for an alternative to the AKP but haven't managed to find a
proper candidate.
Coskun says no one will find a way to be rescued from the AKP and their
policies unless a series of negative and challenging events unfold.
"We can think of alternatives to the AKP only once things begin to go
terribly wrong. No particular party has tried to take the place of the
AKP with positive policies and new ideas," says Coskun, adding that
the opposition is only looking for things that could cause people to
turn against the AKP.
