More than 20 Armenian NGOs have sent the third letter to the UN
Secretary-General over the transfer of the European Regional Center of
the UNDP from Bratislava to Istanbul, Chairwoman of `For Sustainable
Hunan Development' NGO Karine Danielian said at a meeting with
reporters today.
In her words, the Turkish authorities spent billions on the transfer
and although the center will be renamed technical assistance center,
it functions will be the same.
`It is no accident that Turkey is spending such large sums. It seeks
to become a global political center and increase its influence on
world politics in this way,' she noted.
Karine Danielian said that it is planned to open the center in
January, and even though the Armenian authorities made a verbal
statement in this connection, saying that they will not work with
Istanbul, the state should pay more attention to the problem.
`If Armenian Foreign Ministry had joined our letter, we are convinced
that the response would have been different, with the problem being
discussed by diplomatic circles,' she said.
