What characterizes the Turks?
NA Deputy Vardan Khachatryan is very concerned about Armenia being ready to solve two issues at once.
"Armenia can't settle the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and improve Turkish-Armenian relations at the same time," said Vardan Khachatryan and gave explanations during a discussion entitled "Leading to April 24".
He drew everyone's attention to the fact that Armenian political parties are involved in neither Turkish-Armenian relations nor the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict; otherwise, the processes wouldn't have been a secret for them.
Khachatryan has studied the Turks for a long time and has discovered that they are different from other nations in terms of being capable of perpetrating genocide. "It is hard to find a nation that hasn't experienced genocide in Turkey."
Khachatryan says he was surprised after reading the laws released a couple of years after the Turks invaded Constantinople. "There was a point that referred to killing brothers. The Turkish society has been living by the law on killing brothers for decades. So, whoever became the Turkish sultan had to reach the point of killing all his brothers."
Khachatryan is convinced that the Turks are rather far from European values and Europe will face serious problems by integrating Turkey with a population of 70 million people.
As for Serzh Sargsyan's meetings in Washington, Khachatryan preferred not to talk about that due to lack of information and gave a negative evaluation.
Historian Artak Shakaryan evaluates the meetings in Washington as "meeting for a meeting".
"The purpose of that meeting was for Obama to avoid using the word "genocide" on April 24 to say that the Turks and Armenians are negotiating," said Shakaryan.
Shakaryan hopes that upon returning from his vacation, Serzh Sargsyan will announce that he is calling back his signature on the Turkey-Armenia Protocols due to the failure on Turkey's part.
Expert of oriental studies Ruben Melkonyan deemed it necessary to talk about the Armenian community of Constantinople which the Turkish authorities are currently using as a way of showing the world that Armenians feel good in their Turkey. Here Melkonyan first accused the Patriarch of Constantinople Mutafyan and Petros Shirinoglu who is represented as the leader of the Armenian community.
"The Armenian community of Turkey really has no leader," said Melkonyan and considered Shirinoglu as a Turkish oligarch who had announced that Turkey's interests are more important to him than Turkish-Armenian relations in a meeting with Turkish Prime Minister Receb Tayyib Erdogan.
He also considered it necessary to underline that the meeting of Shirnoglu and Erdogan was held on the days when the world was criticizing Erdogan for his threat to deport 100,000 illegal Armenians of Turkey.
