"Hrant Dink was Turkish citizen of Armenian origin.
Though we were against his ideas we would like him to live, we do
not want people to die because of their thoughts", Day.az reports the
words of Muhsin Yazicioglu, leader of the Turkish "Grand Unity" party.
He underlined that the political forces opposing the Turkish
nationalists take advantage of Hrant Dink's assassination.
"We can not allow using this crime for insult, slander or pressure
against Turkish nationalists. Moreover, this campaign is not restricted
to us. These forces suggest that Azerbaijan might stand behind this
assassination. "Armenians try to disguise their crimes. Nobody speaks
of the genocide committed in Khojaly 15 years ago. Armenians have not
withdrawn their forces from the occupied Azerbaijani territories. The
world community is indifferent towards these events - nobody speaks
about one million people, who have become displaced as a result of
the Nagorno Karabakh conflict," Yazicioglu told the APA Turkey bureau.
Muhsin Yazicioglu said that Armenia does not observe international
legal norms. "Armenians do not show any sign of withdrawal from these
territories. If Turkey and Azerbaijan show their will, Armenians will
withdraw. Armenia cannot survive without opening borders with Turkey
and establishing neighborly relations with Azerbaijan. Turkey should
not open borders with Armenia and should not have any relations with
Yerevan," he said.
