Who are you, Mr. Erdogan?
13:59 / 03/20/2010 Erdogan is a man of strong words, while two of three
are pretty good, the third one messes things up, reads the article by
Mustafa Akyol in Turkish Hurriyet Daily News. The author calls the
Premier's recent statement about deportation of 100.000 illegal
Armenians living and working in Turkey `something just terrible'.
According to Akyol, Turkish Premier is quite a vagrant politician yet
being illiberal to criticism in media. Scalping `fascist mentality' he
strangely voices statements about deportation.
The author tries to reveal Erdogan's true colors, saying that seeking
for Islamist dictatorship under the cover of democratization he wants
to have Turkey an EU state or something akin to it.
In conclusion, the journalist quotes `Turkey's most prominent Armenian
intellectual' Etyen Mahcupyan, whose article published in Taraf daily
says, `Most people look at the reformism of the AKP, compare it with
other parties, and give the government more credit than what it
deserves. But the AKP is a result of liberalization rather than being
its driving force. On the other hand, it has the blocks, worries,
fears, and the state reflexes caused by its position as the governing
party in Turkey. That's why its attitude on the Armenian issue is
increasingly falling behind the ethical norms of the Muslim camp¦
[Yet] as Turkey's Muslims build the self-confidence to face
themselves, the dullness of the party which represent them will also
decrease.'
