Turkish nationalist opposition leader who met with President Obama
yesterday said he can't "tolerate the U.S. president's lack of
courtesy" in calling on Turkey to reckon with its past, resolve its
dispute with neighbor Armenia and reopen their shared border.
ANKARA - Devlet Bahceli, President of the Nationalist Action Party
(MHP) blamed US President Barack Obama of being rude. Bahceli said
"Obama's Armenia remarks were rudeness." Mr. Bahceli further targeted
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and argued Turkey made
unaccaptable compromises in the Rasmussen Crisis:
"The last example of the AKP policy has been experinced in the
assignment of the new NATO Secretary General. The view of the
entire Islamis world about Rasmussen is clear. It is unacceptable
that (Turkish) Prime Minister was persuaded as a result of chipest
bargainings. Turkey, although it has a veto right, did not use that
veto right. Thus Turkey reduced to second class states. The Prime
Minister first had opposed that name, he accused of him allowing the
Cartoon Crisis and not preventing the PKK teleision. Yet he one day
later change his opinion. The Danish Prime Minister was apointed with
Turkey's support. The Prime Minister promised the words which he could
not keep and Turkey's hounour was insulted at the bottom of the feet."
* Erdogan is Fake Davos Hero
Mr. Bahceli also called Prime Minister Erdogan as "fake Davos
hero'. "The Prime Minister Erdogan, in response to pressure was forced
to take back step" Mr. Bahceli added.
Bahceli has targete the US President Barack Obama who visited Turkey
and gave a speech in Turkish Grand National Parliament. Mr. Bahceli
called President Obama as rude. He said "Obama clearly stated that
the 1915 events are seen as genocide by him, and he says that had did
not change his opinion. President Obama's examples from their own
history and his call to Turkey to face its past cannot be accepted
and this is a rudeness."
Mr. Bahceli also argued that there is no connection between American
and Turkish past. "I warn AKP, if everybody accept a lie, it does
not mean that that lie is not a lie" he added.
