    "Jamanak" (Times) Armenian daily being published in Istanbul is
    100 years old. Ara Gochunyan, the Editor-in-chief of the daily, who
    has recently arrived in Yerevan told "Ermenihaber.am" news website
    "Jamanak" is the oldest Armenian language paper published in Turkey
    and generally in the world, as well as among the papers of national
    minorities.

    Due to its 100-year-old experience "Jamanak" has its special place
    and role in the culture of Turkey and particularly Armenians of Polis.

    "The paper passes into another century. Naturally, new terms and
    conditions appear. If we look through the hundred-year-old history
    of the paper we can see each period has its specifications, its
    conflicting issues and scope of interests. This is changing through
    time. Globalization changes the world and makes it transparent,
    hence the paper also changes its plans," Ara Gochunyan said.

    Referring to the Armenian-Turkish relations, Gochunyan said South
    Caucasus region is a very fragile point subjected to globalization,
    and the perspectives of Armenian-Turkish relations both from the
    view point of regional and international aspect signify the role of
    Armenian community in Turkey.

    "Armenian community in Turkey has great defensive potential and can
    have important role in mending Armenian-Turkish relations. Now,
    Armenian community seems waiting and defending themselves. They
    preferred to protect their identity and mother tongue; at the same
    time they try hard not to contradict Turkish citizenship and Armenian
    ethnic identity."
