    HERITAGE SLAMS AT PACE PRESIDENT DAVUTOGLU

    Tert.am
    13.05.10

    Heritage Party has released a statement to those who avoid visiting
    the Genocide Memorial at Tsitsernakaberd.

    The statement reads as follow:

    "The Heritage Party and its parliamentary fraction consider the
    Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) president Mevlut
    Cavusoglu's decision to not visit the Armenian Genocide Memorial,
    at Tsitsernakaberd in Yerevan, to be a behavior that is unbecoming
    of the head of this prestigious European organization. And during
    their meeting with Mr Cavusoglu today, Heritage's MPs will inform
    him about this, in person.

    "We deem impermissible the fact that PACE's current president is acting
    against the spirit of the 1987, 2000, 2002 and 2005 decisions by the
    European Parliament - the directly elected legislative body of the
    European Union, which has formally recognized the Armenian genocide
    - and is being guided by a whim that is solely characteristic of a
    nationalist. This conduct is also a challenge against the universal
    norms, the benchmarks of European values, and the aspirations of
    Turkey which pretends to enter into the European family.

    "With such demeanor, Mr. Cavusoglu explicitly confesses that he
    does not consider himself as the head of an influential institution
    - comprising a multinational European family - that pursues the
    implementation of democratic processes and the protection of human
    rights, but, rather, as a Turkish official who, presently having
    assumed the duties of the PACE president, seems to want to make use
    of this institution's leverage for the benefit of Turkey's nowadays
    leaders and Azerbaijan.

    In the view of Heritage, Mevlut Cavusoglu, who, because of the fixation
    to deny the tragedy of the Armenian people -who have been subjected to
    a genocide and have lost their homeland - and disguising his current
    official stay in Armenia as that of a working visit and refusing to
    stop at Tsitsernakaberd, is one of those Turkish politicians whose
    statements and political conduct demonstrate that he is a modern-day
    follower of the Kemalist-Bolshevik conspiracy "deal" of the past.

    "It is apparent, therefore, as to the objectives Mr. Cavusoglu
    is pursuing through his unconcealed steps being taken toward the
    new makeup of the PACE subcommittee on the Mountainous Karabagh
    Republic affairs. With this statement, Heritage yet again affirms
    for this Turkish political figure, and his supporters and probable
    "instructors," that the real issue at hand is the de jure international
    recognition of the Mountainous Karabagh Republic, which is already
    established de facto. And the outstanding matter is the return of
    the territories which, defined by Artsakh's constitution and under
    international law, belong to Artsakh and which are under Azerbaijani
    occupation to this day. And PACE's leadership can, and is obligated
    to, mediate with the aim of peacefully resolving these questions.

    "The Heritage Party once more calls on Armenia's authorities to
    officially recognize the established independence of the Mountainous
    Karabagh Republic. And no Turkish official, nor any other foreigner
    who refuse visiting Tsitsernakaberd, can erase, or send into oblivion,
    the reality of the Armenian Genocide and the Great Dispossession of
    Homeland, and the just cause and the truthful vision of all Armenians."
