Edward Sharmazanov: `Turkey has proved in recent years that it is not
ready for real reforms'
(Holy Cross) Church - and the foreign issues - the Armenian-Turkish
relations, Cyprian and Kurdish issues. Edward Sharmazanov says Turkey
proved that the difference between current Turkey and that of early
20th century is little.
As to the issue of regulation of the Armenian-Turkish relations,
Sharmazanov quoted US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who noted
during her visit to Yerevan that `the ball is in the field of Turkey'.
`By this Mrs. Hillary Clinton stated that Official Washington supports
and accepts President Serzh Sarsgyan's policy and agrees with him,'
the NA deputy said. As to the liturgy, expected to be chanted
September 19 at Surb Khach (Holy Cross) Church on Akhtamar Island,
Edward Sharmazanov said he does not think that Armenian high officials
should go and partake in `the Turkish show'.
According to Edward Sharmazanov, there was an opportunity for Armenian
clergymen to leave for Akhtamar and present to whole world the fact
that the Church was built by Manuel Architect under the auspices of
King Gagik Artsruni and that there was a powerful Armenian kingdom in
the Middle Ages on Akhtamar Island; however Turkey excluded the
possibility by not putting cross on the Church.
