Turkey
ANKARA. - In response to comments by its readers Turkish Hurriyet
indirectly admitted that it misquoted Armenian President Serzh
Sargsyan.
The reader of Turkish newspaper, Kursat Bozkur, addressed to the
editor over the "We got Karabakh back, and we leave Mount Ararat or
future generation" publication, noting that he read the words of the
President of Armenia to discover that he did not use such expression.
Moreover, Serzh Sargsyan stressed that it is not the size of the land
that determines its weight, noted the reader.
"I recently read in your newspaper about the" bellicose statements
"and" hateful crimes". And which of these categories is unwarranted
title of your publication?" asked Bozkur.
In response to the reader Hurriyet said that the article does not
contain the phrase: "We got Karabakh back, and we leave Mount Ararat
or future generations." The paper actually admits that the headline has
nothing in common with the content of the article. It reminds, however,
the declaration on journalists' rights and responsibility in Turkey.
"As journalists, we must help to resolve the disagreement between
Turkey and Armenia. In so far as we need to pursue "peace journalism"
not "journalism of confrontation". Now think to yourselves, which
of the headers is more appropriate in terms of solving problems
and advancing to peace "We took Karabakh, Ararat (Turkish - Agri) we
leave to you" or Serzh Sargsyan's "It is not the size of the land that
determines its weight," said a representative of the Turkish edition.
