YEREVAN. - As a result of the recent attacks that were carried out
against elderly Armenian women in Istanbul's densely-Armenian-populated
Samatya district, certain Turkish nationalist factions have achieved
their objective of creating a climate of fear among Istanbul
Armenians. Turkologist Andranik Ispiryan stated this during a press
conference on Monday.
In his words, these assaults were directed against Armenians.
"Judging by the nature of the attacks, it becomes clear that the
objective of the Turkish nationalist factions, which set up the
assaults, was to create-yet again-a climate of fear and concern within
the Istanbul-Armenian community.
This is evidenced also by the fact that the organizations, which
represent the interests of Istanbul Armenians, avoid making assessments
on the attacks while the Istanbul Armenians do not conceal their deep
concern by the situation and they are afraid to go out alone.
In addition, Turkish NGOs staged protests against the recent assaults
on Armenians," Ispiryan noted, and said it is very likely that the
attacks against the elderly Armenian women in the aforesaid district
will come to an end.
To note, as a result of the recent attacks against elderly Armenian
women in Istanbul's densely-Armenian-populated Samatya district since
December 2012, a woman was killed, two others lost one of their eyes,
and an attempt was made to kidnap another.
