    [dink_b.jpg] The Agos daily's Editor in Chief, Hrant Dink, said some
    Kurds are now being deceived by the same Western trick that Armenians
    fell into in the past. Armenians made the mistake in the past of
    believing the British, German, French, and Russians, claimed Dink,
    who asked the Kurds not to believe the promises made by the US to set
    up a Kurdish state in Northern Iraq. A conference on Malatya, an
    eastern Turkish province, was held with the participation of famous
    people from the city as part of the Malatya Businessmen Association's
    (MIAD) 3rd Intellectual Platform meeting. Dink, noting that he is
    from Malatya, maintained that the Armenians fell into a trap when
    they tried to get rid of the Ottoman State in the 1915s. "The
    British, French, Russians and Germans are repeating the same game
    they played on this territory in the past. The Armenian people
    believed in them in the past. They thought they would be rescued them
    from Ottoman persecution. However, they were deceived because the
    superpowers made their own calculations, they encouraged brothers to
    kill each other on this territory and then left," Dink said. The
    Editor in Chief claimed that Kurds are now being deceived using the
    same trick, and defended that America uses Kurds on the pretext of
    establishing a Kurdish state in Northern Iraq. "The US came in order
    to set up a Kurdish state in Northern Iraq" the Armenian origin
    journalist said, "and we are reminded of the games of the past
    that are being played out again today". "Political calculations
    and party differences must be put aside. This is the US. It will
    come, deal with its own initiatives and leave as soon as its job is
    over. In the aftermath, those left behind will fight against each
    other," Dink said.
