/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Moreover, the Pentagon has already started to look
for an alternative to Incirlik Air Base, and seems it has already
found one. After "the storm in the desert" the USA left its bases in
Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Jordan reserved in case of a new war. Now
these bases may be used for goods transportation to Iraq. True though,
Turkey continues blackmailing America with the Kurdish issue. "The only
way to correct the mistake is the cooperation in the fight against
the Kurdistan Workers Party. I don't know any other alternative,
which could help the 72 million Turks overcome the mental damage this
mistake caused," announced Egemen Bagis, deputy of Turkish Parliament
and advisor on foreign policy issues to the Prime Minister Recep Tayyip
Erdoðan. It's worth mentioning here, that on the hearings preceding the
voting of the bill on the Armenian Genocide in the U.S. House Committee
on Foreign Affairs, the Republican Dana Rohrabacher (California)
condemned "the impudence that some Turks have to threaten to close
the ways of the U.S. Army maintenance supply...
Perhaps they are not as good friends as they try to seem," he
emphasized.
The State Department in its turn reminded Turkey about the agreement
with Iraq achieved by the end of September, according to which Ankara
has committed itself to refrain from military operations on the
territory of Iraq. Washington fairly fears that the Turkish military
invasion will cause destabilization in Kurdistan, which is the only
more or less quiet region in comparison with Shiite and Sunni parts
of Iraq. It shouldn't be forgotten that on September 26 of 2007 the
US Senate with the majority of votes approved the Resolution which
anticipates that Iraq is suggested to be conditionally divided into
three parts - Sunni, Shiite and Kurdish. On October 8 this idea was
supported by Iraqi President Jalal Talabani (Kurdish). So Turkey
shouldn't "put too much pressure" on the USA, in alliance with who
it is interested much more than the US with Turkey. America always
has an option, Turkey almost doesn't.
Azerbaijan's position in this issue leads to confusion. It is
understandable that Turkey is an alley, "an elder brother". But here
Baku has definitely overdone it. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of
Azerbaijan made an announcement regarding the Resolution 106 about
the Armenian Genocide approved by the U.S. House Committee on Foreign
Affairs. The announcement particularly said; "The Ministry of Foreign
Affairs of Azerbaijan condemns this decision and qualifies it as
mistaken and subjective and believes that the given Resolution will
have a negative impact on the regional as well as global processes
in the world."
But Akber Hasanov's concern was the biggest. He was shocked with the
passivity of the people of Azerbaijan and nearly calls upon breaking
the windows of the U.S. Embassy in Baku. "There was nothing unusual
and everything was quite calm in front of the U.S. Embassy. People
hurried to their daily activities," he writes. We will not quote
and will leave aside all the insinuations about Armenians, who have
"territorial claims towards Turkey and Azerbaijan, Georgia, Russia
and Ukraine." But what Armenians want from Ukraine or Russia and all
the other mentioned countries, the author didn't specify.
Another interesting quote from Hasanov is; "The significance of the
present moment for Azerbaijan is beyond doubt. It will be enough to
remind that among the USA, whose congressmen recognized the Armenian
Genocide, France, whose Senate's Lower House also recognized the
Armenian Genocide and Russia, who openly calls Armenia its outpost
in the Caucasus, are among the co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group for
regulation of the Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict. Does anybody really think
that after all this the very OSCE Minsk Group will strive to reach
a fair decision in the Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict resolution?! Is it
hard to understand that Armenia, which dared to throw a challenge to
a big and powerful country like Turkey, will so easily give away the
occupied territories of our country? It is time for us to realize,
that Turkey is our only and loyal alley in the fight for having
back the occupied territories of Azerbaijan. For both Turkey and
Azerbaijan have one historical enemy - Armenia. Any challenge to
Turkey must be regarded as a challenge to Azerbaijan." Everything is
clear with this quotation, things are called by their proper names,
in particular -Armenia is enemy number one. But another astonishing
thing was to call Turkey "big and powerful". Maybe for Baku it is
"big and powerful", but for the World Community Turkey is only a
country with $200 billiard external debt, problems in the field of
human rights and national minorities and distinguished intolerance
towards interpretation of the history other than its own. In the
European countries Turkey, like a century ago, is considered "the
sick man of Europe", who has no treatment at all.
By the way, "the sick man of Europe" was called Abdul Hamid II, who was
the first to start annihilation of the Armenian people already in 1896.
