On November 9 at the US Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at
Taft's University the Turkish Ambassador to Canada Rafet Akgunay read
a lecture. The latter was the general counselor in political issues
of the Turkish Prime Minister Rejep Tayyip Erdogan.
The lecture that he read was titled "Turkey and the Near East",
but he also spoke about the present stage of the Armenian - Turkish
relations. In particular he told that the ratification of the Armenian
- Turkish protocols are suspended because the official Yerevan has
problems both inside the country and with the Diaspora and is unable
to perform political will to ratify the protocols.
The Armenian students that were present at the lecture reminded the
Turkish ambassador that the US State Secretary as well as other
representatives of international community have noticed for many
times that the ball was in Turkish field, and asked him not to mislead
the audience. The Armenian students have also touched upon the steps
that Turkey undertakes for denying the Armenian Genocide. The Turkish
ambassador could find no answer.
The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy (also referred to as The
Fletcher School) at Tufts University is the oldest school in the
United States dedicated solely to graduate studies in international
affairs. It is regarded as one of the world's foremost schools of
international affairs.
