    Erdogan Letter to Kocharian Attempts to Mislead International Community

    11.10.2005 21:18 GMT+04:00

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ A letter by Turkish PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan to Armenian
    President Robert Kocharian is an attempt to mislead the international
    community. Armenian Vice-Speaker Vahan Hovhannisyan qualified this way
    Turkish party's proposal to form a joint Armenian-Turkish historical
    commission to examine the Armenian issue. Mr. Hovhannisyan made his
    statement at the NATO PA Rose-Roth seminar held in Yerevan. In his words,
    besides the Genocide in 1915 Turkey has committed another crime - this one
    against independent Armenia - in 1919 Armenia's territory was equal to 70
    thousand square meters. However, resulting from Turkey's aggression Armenia
    lost Kars, Ardahan, Surmalu, as well as most of the population in these
    regions. In his opinion, the crime was an aggression against another state
    and resulted in most problems that cause destabilization in the South
    Caucasus today. These problems include issues in the Armenian-Azeri and
    Armenian-Turkish relations. Exactly owing to that Armenian President's
    return proposal to form an intergovernmental joint commission instead of a
    historical one may have more actual outcomes, Vahan Hovhannisyan stated. «I
    think that just owing to that the proposal of the Turkish party was not
    reciprocated,» he stated. Besides, Mr. Hovhannisyan remarked that the
    ideology of repentance and remorse underlying the European values is not
    accepted by the Turkish society. «Today Turkey tries to become an EU member
    and it should be ready to that from the inside, the Turkish society should
    change,» he emphasized.
