    CONFERENCE ON THEME "TURKISH-ARMENIAN RELATIONS AND TERRORISM" HELD IN
    LONDON

    LONDON, JANUARY 30, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. A conference on the
    theme "Turkish-Armenian Relations and Terrorism" took place at the
    famous Royal Lecture Theater auditorium of the London Royal College on
    January 26. The conference was organized by the "Federation of Turkish
    Associations of London."

    Tatevik Grigorian, the Chairwoman of the Union of Armenians of the
    London School of Economics and Political Sciences was also invited to
    this conference. She presented details about that conference to Noyan
    Tapan.

    As T.Grigorian mentioned, Turks make similar speeches at different
    auditoriums. Invited lecturers Professor Turkkaya Ataov (theme:
    "Influence of Armenian Terrorism on Ottaman Empire"), Assistant to
    Professor Orhan Cekic (theme: "History of Terrorism against Turk
    Diplomates in Our Days) and Professor Norman Stone (theme:
    "Armenian-Turkish Relations Today and in Nearest Future) made speeches
    on that day. A Azeri professor named Golam-Reza Sabri-Tabriz also made
    a short speech at the conference. The theme was "Karabakh Conflict."
    Photos of Turk diplomates killed by Armenian avengers were displayed
    at the lecture hall. The speeches were in general downright statements
    and swearings, without historic facts, the idea of the genocide was
    mainly mocked, considering it baseless.

    The first performer, Ataov addressed many times to the auditorium with
    a question that "on the occasion of Hrant Dink's murder Turks went out
    to street, by stating that "we are Armenians," and where the Armenians
    were when Turkish diplomates were killed," why they did not come out
    to street to shout that "we are all Turks." Wasn't Turkey the first
    country in the world that allowed Armenians to get officially
    registered as a community when their church separated from the Roman
    church and the Armenians were given possibility to have a Catholicos?
    In Ataov's words, "Armenians continuously subjected Turks to terrorism
    in Balkans and as a result of it, about five million of Turks were
    annihilated in Balkans." Especially awful aspersions were heard in
    Scot Norman Stone's speech. He stated that "There were more than three
    million of Armenians in the Soviet Union, and there is not even one
    and half million of them in Armenia. That's, Armenians damaged
    themselves more than Young Turks did it ever during the history. What
    do they demand then from Turks? More, more than 100 thousand of
    Armenians illegally work in today's Turkey. Thus, Armenians have no
    possibility of living in Armenia and again run to Turkey to save
    themselves. It is impossible to live in Armenia, and they have no
    problem of living and working in Turkey. Today's Armenia has no future
    without Turkey, more, being surrounded by enemies from all sides, it
    can not live without Turkey and has a short life."

    In Stone's words, the greatest misfortune of Armenia is Diaspora,
    especially the American Diaspora. The latters do not speak Armenian,
    are not acquainted with their culture, do not know history at all, are
    acquainted only with cult worship of money, eat at McDonalds', grow
    fat like Americans and are idiots like them. They attempt to keep
    their nationality for some understandable senseless reasons but money
    and profit is on the back of everything," Stone assures and states:
    "if Diasporan Armenians are sure that a genocide happened, why they do
    not even make an attempt to address with this issue to the
    international court and solve it once and for all. Let them bring the
    facts and prove. They do not do as they know well that no just court
    will affirm their falsifications. I have continuously read about the
    Armenian genocide and have never found any serious evidence that it
    happened. Armenian sources are not at all ones to read and are not
    objective, they only contain cheap feelings and dramatic,
    heart-breaking stories. For example, the "Burning Tigris" novel. This
    is a book which must be read with a dramatic-mocking voice. The source
    of the genocide infection is Diaspora, and the sooner the Armenians of
    Armenia separate from the poison spread by Diaspora the sooner they
    will get better. All their misfortunes come from Diaspora.

    At the end the Azeri lecturer (Sabri-Tabrizi) added to what he said
    that the main reason for the Armenians' misfortune is its being a
    slave of Russia as the misfortunes of the region come from Russia. He
    stated that the Turks and Azeris live in one country, simply have
    different governments and everything that Turks do against Armenians,
    coincide with the Azeris' interests. He asked the Turks not to forget
    that one million of Azeri refugees waits for the lost country of
    Karabakh for which eberybody must struggle.
