90 years Turks learnt to deny Armenian Genocide
13:30 / 03/27/2010 Turkish Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan's words `show
that the he has no sensitivity on the subject matter,' reads the
article by Cengiz Aktar in Turkish Hurriyet Daily News. The author
comments on Erdogan's explanations about his statement on deportation
of 100.000 illegal Armenians. Aktar notes that Armenians lived in
Anatolia even before Turks, adding that within 90 years Turks
(including Erdogan) were taught to deny killing of Anatolian
Armenians.
`No matter how you name it, this is not normal. So if nobody knows
anything today, it is in a way understandable, however unacceptable,'
he reckons.
According to the author, the word `illegal' stirred up debates inside
and outside Turkey as presently the migration is a topical issue,
particularly in western countries. This subject is studied at various
universities, including those in Europe. `Almost every day a dramatic
story about illegal workers, including those from Turkey, are covered
in Western newspapers,' he added. Thus, Aktar regrets that Turkish
Premier is unaware of it and `rudely talks on the BBC radio about the
arbitrary practices of his own country.'
