    AZG: PATRIARCH OF CONSTANTINOPLE DANCING TO TURKISH TUNE

    Armenia

    Concerning a liturgy at the Surb Khach (Holy Cross) church on Akhtamar
    Island, the Azg newspaper writes that the Turkish Government is
    thereby trying to play havoc among Armenians. "During a short period,
    it is the third well thought-out step by Turkey, by means which it is
    creating confusion among Armenians, reaping the sweet fruits of its
    labor. After capturing historical lands and destroying 1.5m Armenians,
    Turkey, easily and expertly, is applying various mechanisms among the
    victims' descendants, who are not yet able to shoe national unity
    and strong will to oppose its behind-the-scenes intrigues. One of
    the first steps was the Armenian-Turkish protocols, which not only
    inspired hopes in Armenians, but also deceived the international
    community. The second step was the election of the Vicar of the
    Armenian Patriarch in Istanbul. Turks supported the formation of two
    different commissions (the Spiritual Council and Election Committee)
    and, dividing the Istanbul-based Armenians into two opposing camps,
    got Aram Ateshyan 'elected' vicar. That was an unprecedented event in
    the history of Armenian Patriarchate. Although the 'election results'
    are being appealed, Ateshyan is already reaching fruits, dancing to
    the Turkish Government's tune.

    According to the newspaper, "Turkey is offering us its third step, a
    liturgy in Surb Khach church on Akhtamar Island. By allowing only one
    liturgy in this historical church, the Turkish Government is clearly
    showing its goals. First, the Government does not recognize this
    church as a place of worship. Secondly, it is taking the opportunity
    to pretend it is tolerant toward other religions thereby facilitating
    its admission to the EU.

    Thirdly, the Turkish Government is thus promoting tourism in the
    country. Turkey is happiest about the fact Armenians are disunited
    about even minor matters and are fighting against one another.

    Thus, Armenians are divided into two camps, which are arguing with
    and accusing each other, forgetful of Turkish intrigues, the newspaper
    concludes.
