    PROMINENT ARMENIANS DENOUNCE PM'S WORDS

    Hurriyet Daily News
    July 28, 2011
    Turkey

    Ankara's close relationship with Baku is partly to blame for the
    Turkish PM's angry response to Armenian president's earlier comments
    on East Anatolia, according to prominent Armenian figures who have
    denounced the retort as Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister Shavarsh
    Kocharyan said that the Turkish anger against Sarkisian's remarks
    was as much the product of imagination as it was insincere.

    "Turkey says [they] want peace and tranquility in the Caucasus on one
    hand while they are trying to prepare Azerbaijan for a new war on the
    other," David Shahnazarian, a leading opposition figure and the former
    national security minister, told the Hurriyet Daily News by telephone
    Thursday. "Azerbaijan has a hysterical attitude whenever there is
    talk of Turkey-Armenia relations," Hayk Khanumyan, head of the a
    nongovernmental organization in Nagorno-Karabakh, told the Daily News.
