Ruben Melkonyan. `It is strange for Etienne Mahchupian to comprehend
the counsel of April 24.'
January 31 2015
Advisor to Turkish prime minister Etienne Mahchupian, commenting on
Turkish president Recep Tayyip ErdoĆ?an's invitation addressed to
Armenia's President Serzh Sargsyan, had said that Armenians were also
killed in this Battle, and attending the celebration incurs form
Armenia's interests. In this respect, Aravot.am talked with Ruben
Melkonyan, who mentioned that one should understand Etienne
Mahchupian's political description to interpret his statements. `It is
clear that Etienne Mahchupian was appointed an Advisor to Turkish
Prime Minister due to this very description, a person who is Armenia
only by the surname, and a person who openly announces that first of
all he is a citizen and official of Turkey and serves the interests of
Turkey. Naturally, Etienne Mahchupian's statement is a statement of an
ordinary Turkish official, which should incur from the interests of
this state.' Mr. Menkonyan mentioned that Etienne Mahchupian supports
the left-wing ideology for many years, whose national identity is
subordinated. `It is probably strange for him to comprehend the
counsel of April 24, and whether it is possible for the Armenian
official to attend an invented and fabricated celebration on April 24,
the Centennial of the Dardanelles battle. Hence, I think that Etienne
Mahchupian's statement shows that he does not realize and is not
familiar with the Armenian perceptions and approaches the issue
one-sidedly ` from Turkish viewpoint.' The Turkologist believes that
this is not the case when Armenia should make a move to meet Turkey,
which will contribute to the establishment of relations between the
two parties. `This is clearly the case when the Turkish authorities
have invent a pretext to divert the international attention from the
Armenian genocide issue. This is one more campaign trick indicating
their move to meet Armenia.'
