The recent incidents in Turkey are mainly the reflections of the
existing Armeniaphobia and xenophobia. It is the continuation of
ideology of the Young Turks, Kiro Manoyan, head of the Armenian
Revolutionary Federation-Dashnaktsutyun Political office, told a news
conference Tuesday.
"Though today the ruling party in Turkey is trying to present its
country in other atmosphere, the anti-Armenian policy there continues,"
he said, adding that the word Armenian may be accepted there as a
curse and no one will be subjected to responsibility for it.
The ARF-D rep said according to reports the atmosphere in Samatya
raises concerns as the Armenians there are really scared. There are
homes of Armenians on the doors of which are crosses and people are
afraid to open the door not to be attacked.
"At the same time there is a pressing atmosphere, with the
representatives of the Armenian community often saying that the
police is doing everything to press the criminals. While the fact
is that there was no state comment on the incidents with only police
relating to it and presenting the attacks on elderly Armenian women
as usual robbery cases," Kiro Manoyan said.
The more we come closer to the 100th anniversary of Armenian Genocide,
the more these cases will grow in number.
"There is no need to reconcile, it is necessary to voice about the
existing atmosphere. The first responsible is the Turkish authority and
it is the result of the policy they are conducting. A very small circle
in Turkey condemns the attacks and tie them with genocide," he said.
Manoyan said an all-Armenian concord should be formed over the issues,
which does not mean that all must say just one and the same thing,
but it is necessary to understand what we want.
