  • ANKARA: Turkish Opp leader "concerned" about dialogue with Armenia

    Turkish opposition leader "concerned" about dialogue with Armenia

    Anatolia news agency
    4 May 05

    ANKARA

    MHP [Nationalist Action Party] Chairman Devlet Bahceli has said that
    if terrorist ringleader Abdullah Ocalan [leader of the Kurdistan
    Workers' Party] is retried, this will appear on Turkey's agenda just
    like a "time bomb". [Passage omitted]

    Noting that the Armenian issue has been placed on the agenda due to
    the fact that the EU has besieged Turkey, Bahceli explained that they
    are concerned about the dialogue that Recep Tayyip Erdogan has
    initiated with the Armenian president. [Passage omitted]

    Asked to comment on the investigation launched in Switzerland into
    Turkish History Institution Chairman Yusuf Halacoglu for saying "there
    was no Armenian genocide", Bahceli said that this incident proves the
    hypocrisy of the European countries. Bahceli said: "The honourable
    Halacoglu is in Turkey. Let Switzerland come and take him."

    In answer to a question, Bahceli claimed that there are expectations
    regarding early elections in Turkey.
