    THE AUSTRIAN ARMENIAN COMMITTEE FOR JUSTICE AND DEMOCRACY CRITICIZES ANKARA'S POLICY

    October 13, 2014

    On the 8th of October 2014, the diplomatic academics of Vienna
    organized an event hosting the new ambassador of Turkey in Vienna.Among
    the guests were representatives of Austrian business and diplomatic
    communities.

    The new Turkish ambassador reiterated the willingness of Turkey to
    join the EU under the slogan: "Turkey in Europe: A common history,
    a common future".

    He expressed his discontent concerning the EU membership negotiation
    process, qualifying it with double standard and changing game rules.

    Furthermore he asked for a concrete homework, Turkey must fulfill
    prior to EU membership.

    The Austrian Armenian Committee for Justice and Democracy was
    represented by Serge Derhagopian. He raised the question, whether the
    double standard in EU membership process does not correlate with the
    Turkish denial of Armenian Genocide and the low credibility of their
    policy? Also he pointed out, if there is a homework to be done by
    Turkey, that's the Armenian Genocide Recognition.

    Following this intervention, most of the raised questions were critical
    towards Turkey (lack of freedom of speech, Cyprus conflict, conflicts
    with neighbors, conflicts with Kurds and ISIS support).

    The Austrian Armenian Committee for Justice and Democracy endeavors,
    using every opportunity, to play an opinion making role in Austrian
    community.
