Davutoglu's Latest Ploy
February 13, 2015
It has just been reported that the Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet
Davutoglu produced his latest "generosity" toward Armenia, i.e.
"Turkey is willing to open the border provided Armenia returns to
Azerbaijan at least one of the territories surrounding Nagorno
Karabagh." The pronouncement was made at his meeting in Ankara with
representatives of non-Muslim organizations and other NGO's, otherwise
known as Ankara's promotional ethnic forum.
Before anybody jumps into conclusions with accolades of misguided
enthusiasm, Davutoglu should be reminded that Turkey is not a party in
the Karabagh negotiations and will never be. The negotiations are
between Armenia and Azerbaijan with a guaranteed final say of the
people and government of the Nagorno Karabagh Republic. And at this
stage of the game, Azerbaijan is in a state of undeclared war against
both Armenia and Karabagh with daily murderous incursions over the
cease-fire line into the civilian-inhabited areas. So, who's extending
this "peace" offer and to whom?
And we need to ask, what is there to negotiate with Turkey in the
present circumstances? Why would the Armenian side be willing to
connect the Karabagh issue with the border regime with Turkey? What
happens when Turkey again decides to close the border after a certain
territory is suddenly ceded by the Armenian side to Azerbaijan...?! Of
course, Davutoglu is not naive. He knows that the cease-fire line is
the vital defense shield for Karabagh and Armenia against the
Turkey-supported Azerbaijani belligerence. He knows that the slightest
split in that shield would fatally incapacitate the fundamental
security of both Armenian states. He also knows that this phony offer
is dead on arrival. Yet there is a reason why he has to fabricate
these make-believe offers. This is the latest move in Davutoglu's
deception game targeting the audiences in the West on the Centennial
of the Turkish Genocide of the Armenian people, which he and President
Erdogan have publicly vowed to exploit throughout this year of solemn
observance. Shame on them!
