/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkey's main political task is to internationally
isolate Armenia, and Ankara tries to reach this goal by all means,
"Hay Dat" Committee representatives from the U.S. and Europe stated
to a press conference in Yerevan. "The activity of committees in
Diaspora is aimed at bringing that policy to a minimum. It's not a
secret that by doing this Turkey tries to draw away the attention
of the world community from recognizing the Armenian Genocide, the
"Hay Dat" representatives underlined.
Head of European Office Loran Leilekian said Azerbaijan and Turkey
aim at isolation of Armenia in international organizations, and the
construction of Kars-Akhalkalaki-Tbilisi-Baku railway is the best
example of it. Despite the fact that the United States and European
Union spoke against that project, anyhow Turkey and Azerbaijan are
going to begin construction works. By doing this they one more time
prove that they are not ready for European integration. The same thing
concern and the 301st article of Turkish Penal Code that Ankara is not
going to change. The article limits freedom of speech, but actually it
is one more evidence that it is forbidden to speak about the Armenian
Genocide in Turkey, it's a criminal offence," Leilekian underscored.
