    KIRO MANOYAN: TURKISH AUTHORITIES RESPONSIBLE FOR THE VIOLENCE AGAINST ARMENIANS IN SAMATYA

    The situation in Istanbul's Armenian-inhabited neighborhood of
    Samatya is worrisome, Head of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation
    Bureau's Hay Dat and Political Affairs Office Kiro Manoyan told a
    press conference today.

    There is an atmosphere of fear and pressure there, he said. "Armenians
    often say the law-enforcement bodies are doing their best to prevent
    violence, but they have not reached any results," Kiro Manoyan said.

    According to him, the recent developments are expressions of the
    atmosphere of hatred for Armenians. Moreover, this is an ideology
    that dates back to the times of Young Turks. He recalled that no
    high-ranking official in Turkey has spoken publicly about these
    anti-Armenian steps.

    Despite this, there are certain circles in Turkey, which accept that
    hatred for Armenians lies in the basis of the problem. The Istanbul
    branch of the Human Rights Union of Turkey has issued a special
    report on this occasion, stressing that the probe into the issue
    should be public.

    Some are inclined to link the developments with the 100th anniversary
    of the Armenian Genocide, which proves that the number of cases will
    increase as the 2015 is approaching.

    Kiro Manoyan urges not to reconcile with the situation. He believes
    the incidents are the result of the policy of the Turkish authorities
