YEREVAN. - The recent assaults on elderly Armenian women in Turkey show
that the anti-Armenian policy continues in that country. Giro Manoyan,
Director of the International Secretariat of Armenia's opposition ARF
Dashnaktsutyun Party Bureau and Head of the Armenian Cause Office,
stated this during a press conference on Tuesday.
"Taking into account that no representative from the ruling party [in
Turkey] has publicly addressed this matter, one can assume that the
[Turkish state] policy toward Armenians has not changed at all. And
there are circles in the country that present them [that is, the
attacks] as manifestations of Armenian-hatred. It should be stressed
that the architect behind such incidents is definitely the authorities
of Turkey," Manoyan said, and added that such incidents could grow
in number, ahead of the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.
