    ATTACKS LAUNCHED AGAINST ARMENIANS IN TURKEY ARE PLANNED: TURK COLUMNIST

    12:38, 29 January, 2013

    YEREVAN, JANUARY 29, ARMENPRESS: If several things as I mentioned in a
    country like Turkey happens in a matter of weeks, we should have every
    reason to believe that they are organized and somehow connected to
    each other. Columnist Orhan Kemal Cengiz came forth with a statement,
    Armenpress reports citing Today's Zaman.

    Columnist rejects Armenian women attacked in the Samatya neighborhood
    of Istanbul recently were due to robbery. All of whom were over 80 and
    living alone. Even if the intent of the attackers was robbery, this
    does not change the fact that there is an obvious racial hatred behind
    these assaults. If their only purpose was to steal a few items from
    these old ladies they could easily incapacitate the women without the
    brutality. But instead they brutally beat and stabbed these women. An
    Armenian intellectual, who does not want to reveal his identity, told
    me that he barely managed to escape unscathed from a planned attack
    by two youngsters who were sent by an ultranationalist who was angry
    with some of the words that this Armenian intellectual had made on TV.

    Some circles are frantically trying to create an atmosphere of
    terror for non-Muslims in Turkey. When there was a comparable level
    of activities against non-Muslims in 2006 and 2007, they ended up
    in disaster with a string of murders of Christians: Father Andrea
    Santoro in Trabzon, Hrant Dink in Istanbul and three Christians in
    Malatya were killed.

    Since the beginning of the Ergenekon investigation in 2007, we have
    not witnessed such kinds of attacks against non-Muslims. Some cells
    seemed to have been reactivated to give Christians a hard time once
    again. I really hope that officials will grasp the severity and
    gravity of the situation soon and act quickly in order to bring the
    attackers and the people behind them to justice. This situation is
    quite serious and alarming.
