    CHANGE OF POWER IN TURKEY UNLIKELY TO HAPPEN - GIRO MANOYAN

    July 03, 2013 | 17:30

    YEREVAN. - Turkish events have no relation to the Arab Spring, head of
    the Armenian Cause office Giro Manoyan said during the debates titled
    "Turkish summer and its consequences for the region."

    Manoyan, Director of the International Secretariat of Armenia's
    opposition ARF Dashnaktsutyun Party Bureau, said protest movement in
    Turkey was mainly directed against Premier Erdogan.

    ARF Dashnaktsutyun member noted that Erdogan is a charismatic leader,
    but failed to unite all layers of the society.

    He stressed that Kurds did not join the protests, while Erdogan
    claimed that protest movement was aimed at reconciliation with Kurds.

    "In fact the discontent of the Turkish society revealed real
    authoritarian character of the current leadership," the politician
    said.

    Manoyan believes the leadership is unlikely to change, but public
    discontent is the beginning of the fall in support of Erdogan, as
    the struggle within the ruling party itself may lead to new results.

    Tree-cutting in Gezi Park near Taksim square provoked mass protests
    in Istanbul which turned into political movement. Later uprising
    continued across Turkey.
