    OPPONENTS OF NORMALIZATION OF ARMENIAN-TURKISH RELATIONS TRIED TO
    MAKE A SCANDAL OF ARMENIA'S PARTICIPATION IN AN INTERNATIONAL FORUM
    IN ANKARA

    Yerevan, March 31. ArmInfo. The Participation of the Councilor to
    the Armenian Defense Minister Hayk Kotanjian in an international
    anti-terrorism symposium in Ankara was spoiled with an attempt of
    making scandal:

    Press secretary of the Armenian Defense Ministry Seyran Shahsuvarian
    reported to ArmInfo that the attempt was connected with the presence
    of representation of Armenian military forces at the symposium. Hayk
    Kotanjian, having returned to Yerevan, says that on the second day of
    the symposium he was surrounded by reporters. Previously it had been
    reported that Mr. Kotanjian protested against mentioning the ASALA
    (Armenian Secret Army for the Liberation of Armenia) organization and
    left the hall of conference, so the reporters asked him to comment
    the fact. Mr. Kotanjian told the reporters that such statements are
    false and insisted that the matter should be made clear with the
    organizers of eth symposium. Mr. Kotanjian notes that the provocation
    was welcomed by the representatives of the Turkish Army Command;
    nevertheless the representative of turkey apologized about the
    incident and disinformation. Hayk Kotanjian thinks that the scandal
    was made by some opponents of normalization of Armenian- Turkish
    relations. According to Mr. Kotanjian, the Turkish side promised to
    take measures against the provocateurs and the next day a number of
    Turkish newspapers published the denial of the false information.

    Mr. Kotanjian also says that only one phrase in the report of the
    head of the Turkish Army Command referred to ASALA: 'Many of our
    diplomats were killed by ASALA terrorists'.
