  • Baku: Analyst: Dissemination Of Armenian Newspaper By Turkish Air Ca

    ANALYST: DISSEMINATION OF ARMENIAN NEWSPAPER BY TURKISH AIR CARRIER IS AN ILLEGITIMATE AND IRRESPONSIBLE GESTURE

    Trend, Azerbaijan

    Azerbaijan, Baku, Feb. 22 / Trend /

    Dissemination of an Armenian newspaper by Turkish Airlines to
    its passengers is a continuation of the absolutely absurd and
    irresponsible gesture from President Gul to Serzh Sargsyan hastily
    congratulating him on his re-election to the Armenian presideny,
    Trend Expert Council member, Western University professor, political
    analyst Fikret Sadikhov said.

    "Certain circles in Turkey have decided to go further and demonstrate
    that they care about national minorities, particularly Armenians living
    in the country, and have begun distributing this newspaper in flight,"
    the politician told Trend on Friday.

    Turkish Airlines (THY) began distribution of the Agos Armenian daily
    newspaper on board of its flight to passengers, Turkish media reported.

    If those involved in this action aim to mitigate the situation or
    attract some Armenian Diaspora organizations or persuade Armenia to
    abandon the 1915 issue or renounce territorial claims against Turkey,
    these attempts are futile, the analyst said.

    Such methods and steps don't garner political capital and important
    political issues are not solved in this way, he said.

    According to Sadikhov, such steps cause great sorrow both in Turkey and
    Azerbaijan, Surely, Turkey will not be able to achieve some positive
    results by such actions.

    "Turkey should not have been so quickly in its recognition of Sargsyan
    as president. Officials in Turkey are now talking about forms of public
    civility, but it could have been done later and in a different form,
    there was no need for a hasty congratulation to the man, whose hands
    are stained with the blood of Azerbaijanis, on the eve of the 21st
    anniversary of Khojaly events," the analyst said.

    President Abdullah Gul congratulated Serzh Sargsyan on his presidential
    reelection.
