To prevent the spread of pan-Turkism on the threshold of the
centennial anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, Europe should put a
straitjacket on Turkey, political expert Levon Shirinyan said at a
press conference on Saturday.
He said that Turkey sponsors the Islamists, who seriously endanger
Europe and the whole world. In this light, he calls on the
international community to start supporting Armenia, which was the
first to suffer from Turkey's actions. "On the threshold of the 100th
anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, it is necessary to put a
straitjacket on Turkey the way it was done with Germany in the context
of Holocaust", he said. Shirinyan also urges the international
community to recognize the independence of the NKR and support its
sustainable development so that Artsakh and Armenia, together with the
whole world, could fight pan- Turkism.
For his part, theologian Vardan Khachatryan thinks that one should ask
nobody for anything, because history shows that only strong countries
are respected. "Armenia should consolidate the old and the new
Diasporas and launch a serious campaign on Genocide recognition,
otherwise, the international community will keep ignoring the
country", he said.
Both experts believe that only the leaders of Ankara's close partners
will accept Turkey's invitation to attend the events dedicated to the
centennial anniversary of the Battle of Gallipoli.
To note, Armenia has set up a special committee to handle issues
related to the events dedicated to the 100th mourning anniversary of
the Armenian Genocide. Leaders of different countries are invited to
attend these events in 2015. Meanwhile, Turkish President Recep Tayyip
Erdogan has invited his Armenian counterpart to attend the events on
the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Gallipoli.
Sargsyan has rejected the invitation. He has reminded Erdogan that a
few months ago he invited him to attend the 24 April 2015 events in
Yerevan to pay tribute to the memory of the Armenian Genocide victims.
