Armenian lawmaker, member of the Republican Party of Armenia Artak
Zakarian commented Monday in his interview with Aysor the recent
statements made by Turkey that Israel must lift blockade of Gaza.
"Unfortunately, we often witness the double standards in the world.
>From the standpoint of political decency and morality, this is, sure,
a subject for condemnation; however, the history and the world are
created in such way that political interests have a higher priority
and value," he told Aysor.
"They say, the end justifies the means, and, unfortunately, the world
politics are moving this idea exactly. We've got problems in relation
to which the world community implements policy of double standards. I
keep in view the process of settlement to the Karabakh conflict and
developments occurred during last 16 years," said politician.
He pointed that Turkey is not the country that can talk and has rights
to talk about blockade as it has been imposing a blockade on Armenia
since 1993 and this seriously damaged both region and Armenian in
economical sense.
"I think that Turkey's such kind of style should at least cause
perplexity. I don't think that it will move political interests of
Turkey in context of Israeli-Turkish relations," he added.
