"Turkish Azeri brotherhood is eternal and indissoluble!" - Turkish
Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan once again made the peculiar statement at
the Baku 1st Forum of Azeri and Turkish Diaspora World Organizations.
Then the Premier made another "fresh" statement - "Turkey and
Azerbaijan are states of one nation." Having talked enough about
fraternal ties of Turkish and Azeri nations and the role of Turks in
the world civilization, Erdogan passed over to accusations towards
Armenia. As it came out, the "lasting occupation of Azeri lands,
banishment of a million of people from their homeland, the presence of
refugees and migrants - is a bleeding wound of Turks."
"Last year, Armenians held the so called 'referendum'. Has the world
recognize it? It hasn't. Why? Because it was a figment, a wrong and
false step that couldn't be accepted," Erdogan went on without being
confused about the inconsistencies of his arguments like - "it can't
be because it can never be".
Alike statements hit Armenia's efforts for recognition of Armenian
Genocide. "No one will recognize it. Turkey and Turks will never
acknowledge this!" declared Erdogan.
The Turkish Prime Minister was troubled by "the violation of
fundamental principles of the international law - the principles of
the countries' territorial integrity and inadmissibility of forced
change of the borders". To remind, this statement belongs to the Prime
Minister of a country which has occupied a part of Cyprus. Apparently,
he considers that the principles of the international law aim to
protect only the interests of his own country and Azerbaijan. Erdogan
went further. He stated that Turkey opened its historical archives,
applied to Armenia and third countries to open the archives too. First
and foremost, it is not the affair of politicians, Erdogan said. Let
historians, political scientists, archaeologists, and lawyers examine
this issue. If there is any unfairness, Turkey will do all the things
needed, the Turkish Prime Minister stated. Is it also for historians
to officially recognize the Armenian Genocide?
