I WISH THE GROUND WOULD SWALLOW YOU UP - TURKISH ANALYST SLAMS ERDOGAN'S MESSAGE TO ARMENIAN LEADER
12:32 * 26.01.15
A Turkish political analyst has criticized President Recep Tayyip
Erdogan's move to invite the Armenian president to the country next
year to join the Gallipoli battle's 100th anniversary events on the
day coinciding with the Armenian Genocide centennial.
"I wish the ground would swallow you up. I see you have turned a blind
eye to those people's pain, but you could have at least abstained
from mocking at them. Against the background of such a disgrace,
Erdogan is inviting Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan to Canakkale,"
Bakin Oran said in an article published in Radikal.
He noted that Turkey earlier traditionally celebrated the the Canakkale
(Galippoli) battle anniversary on March 18. "The president will this
year head to Canakkale with the Azerbaijani despot Ilham Aliyev,
the Turkish foreign policy's biggest 'attraction stone'. And they
will celebrate [the anniversary] on the day symbolizing the heinous
atrocities against the Armenians, committed by butchers of Ittihat
ve Terakki," he wrote.
In his invitation letter, sent to the Armenian leader on January 16,
Erdogan said that they plan hold massive on April 23 and 24 to mark
the centenary of the battle. In his response message, issued shortly
after, President Sargsyan said that "it is not our rule to be hosted
without receiving an answer to our own invitation".
