  • ANKARA: Sarkozy Can Never Make Us Angry

    SARKOZY CAN NEVER MAKE US ANGRY

    Today's Zaman
    Turkey
    Jan 10 2012

    French President Nicolas Sarkozy is planning to take new steps to
    harm Turkey, according to the news. Realizing that the "Armenian
    genocide" is a sore spot for Turkey, Sarkozy is set to propose that
    all EU countries adopt the genocide denial bill -- criminalizing the
    denial of the Ottoman's deportation of Armenians in 1915 as "genocide,"
    which if approved by the Senate will become law.

    I can only laugh at that because Sarkozy apparently does not know
    that we are used to seeing that kind of stupid political plan, and we
    are very much used to seeing other countries' attempts to frustrate
    Turkey or turn Turkish people against one another or cause political
    polarization. Sarkozy is not the first, nor will he be the last to
    do that. If Sarkozy aims to prevent Turkey from joining the EU by
    depicting it as a problematic country, then we will only laugh at
    that because Turkey is not a country waiting to be given a reason
    for a conflict. We do not need outsiders for that. "Conflicts" and
    intense debates are already a major part of Turkish politics.
