TURKEY MOVES AWAY FROM EUROPEAN NATIONS, SAYS SAHAKIAN

"Whatever Turkey does to show that it moves towards the European
family, it shows the very opposite results. And the incident with
Armenian journalists in Turkey makes this clear. Actions of the
Turkish authorities go wrong with policy of the country which on the
very same day voted for constitutional reforms and which seeks to
move towards democracy," told media a Republican, Hovhannes Sahakian.
Hovhannes Sahakian, in particular, referred to the incident at the
airport of Istanbul where three Armenian journalists from Panarama.am
agency, Aravot paper and the Yerevan Press Club, appeared to have
become hostages. The Turkish officers detained them and objected
to rummage with an aim, as they described, to determine whether the
Armenian journalists have enough money for living and accommodation.
Only after representatives of the Hrant Dink Foundation and chairman
of the Press Club demanded for explanations, journalists were freed.
