"American Armenians are conducting a dirty campaign against Turks
and Azerbaijanis"
New York. Isabel Levine - APA. 1915 year's events, historical processes
in South Caucasus, including Azerbaijan-Turkey historical relations,
Turkish nation's leader Mustafa Kemal Ataturk's services for Turkic
World were discussed at the "Heritage of Ataturk" symposium at UN
headquarters this weekend.
The symposium was joined by American historical and political analysts
who have interest in Ataturk and Turkic world, Turkish diplomats and
also, Ataturk's daughter Ulku Adatepe.
"If there wasn't be Ataturk, there wouldn't be any Turk alive today.
Ataturk saved the Turks", - told American historical analyst Justin
McCarthy. He pointed out that Ataturk didn't save only Turkey, but
played the same role for the whole region. The analyst also mentioned
Ataturk's assistances to Azerbaijan in that historical period. Another
analyst - Arnold Riesman said that modern Turkey - is the heritage
of Ataturk: "Modern Turkey is also fighting for peace and stability
in the region". Speaking to APA's correspondent, the analyst reminded
Turkey's role in the Nagorno-Karabakh peace process, "even if it is not
noticeable in the Minsk group process". Ataturk's daughter says that
Mustafa Kemal is still not known as much as she would like to in the
world, sometimes his reforms are misunderstood. Another controversial
issue discussed at the symposium was the Turkish-Armenian historical
relations. "Turks don't have anything to loose, as they never committed
genocide", - said McCarthy. According to him, "the more you dig this
issue, the more you see that Turks are truthful". The analyst also
pointed out that American Armenians are conducting a dirty campaign
against Turks and Azerbaijanis. He says that Turkey mustn't forget
Azerbaijan, as this country's territories are still under Armenian
occupation.
