In a harshly worded speech at the Turkish parliament over the recent
Israeli raid on a flotilla carrying humanitarian aid to the blockaded
Gaza Strip which killed several people, among them also Turkish
citizens, Turkish prime minister also referred to the reason why
he cancelled his planned visit to Argentine in the framework of his
Latin American tour.
"Much in the same way as we attach importance to the values of each
country and treat them with tolerance, they too must accept our values
in the same way. Naturally, I consider it useful to remember that such
acts of the Armenian Diaspora can give benefit neither to Armenia, nor
to the Armenian people, and nor to third countries. On the contrary,
they are detrimental. Much in the same way as they put Armenia in a
tough situation, the initiatives of the Diaspora irresponsibly put
[also] third countries in a difficult situation, as it was with
Argentine. I hope that all those who for their domestic political
benefits are addicted to the Armenian Diaspora and become its hostage,
will soon see how much damage they cause to both Armenia and their
countries," said Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Earlier Erdogan canceled his visit to Argentine in the framework of
his Latin American tour as soon as we was informed that the Buenos
Aires city administration had annulled a decision to erect a bust of
Mustafa Kemal Ataturk in the city.
