Turkey vainly seeking more important regional role - Alek Yenigomshyan
14:44 ¢ 15.12.13
By using the term `deportation' Turkey is trying to pre-empt any blows
on it as the centennial of the Armenian Genocide is nearing.
At the same time, official Ankara is thus trying to make its role is
the region acceptable, ASALA ex-member and Preparliament member Alek
Yenigomshyan told Tert.am as he commented on Turkish FM Ahmet
DavutoÄ?lu's visit to Armenia and his follow-up statement, when he used
the term `deportation,' noting that was an inhuman act never supported
by Turkey.
According to Yenigomshyan, it is not the first time that Turkish
authorities have used the term `deportation.'
`They admit that Armenians were `deported' rather than fell victim to
genocide for, as they claim, being treacherous. By using this term,
they are not doing anything new. They are only `adding' the shade of
`inhuman.' However, it does not imply any political responsibility for
Ottoman Turkey's actions. In a narrower sense, it may be considered a
qualitative change, but in a broader sense, no essential changes have
taken place.'
The Turkish FM's visit to Turkey was not a coincidence. It is related
to new regional developments.
`The visit should be viewed in the context of new programs and of
Turkey's increasing role. In this new geopolitical situation Turkey is
implementing a deceptive policy,' he said.
`The policy Turkey pursued in 2008 and 2009 produced no results. So
they are now trying to add some shades to the delicate issues related
to the Armenian people. This approach should be viewed in the context
of their psychological policy,' Yenigomshyan said.
However, Turkey's policy has failed.
`As to how long this policy will go on failing, it depends on the
Armenian people's strong will. A failure may turn into a lucky one if
the opponent, Armenia, implement an even more ineffective policy. The
Armenian people must remain strong,' Yenigomshyan concluded.
