Outbursts of nationalism observed in Turkey during election campaign
suggest serious scandals in future, according to an expert in Turkish
studies.
As Ruben Melkonyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, "the murder of an
Armenian soldier Sevag Sahin Balikci on April 24 Genocide Commemoration
Day came as a consequence of nationalist moods. It's been found out
that the murder was committed by Sevag's fellow serviceman Kivanc
Agaoglu, a member of a Bozkurtlar (Grey Wolves) ultra-nationalist
youth organization. Hrant Dink murderer Ogun Samast was affiliated
with the same organisation."
"Harassment scandals and the Kurdish issue are also likely to surface
during election campaign in Turkey," Melkonyan noted.
Parliamentary elections in Turkey are due on June 12.
