THESE ARE THE SAME TURKS

“Armenia is conducting a fearful and cautious policy,” said Ramkavar
Azatakan Party (HRAK) leader Harutyun Arakelyan.

He views the European Parliament’s recent resolution as another
attempt of pressure.

“Armenia has always been pressured by outer forces. As a UN member
state, Armenia must spare no effort to use the opportunities envisaged
by international law. Only after Armenia is guided by the norms of
international law in relations with Azerbaijan and Turkey and shifts
the Genocide issue from the political domain to the international
level, will the USA, Russia and European Union change their stance
towards Armenia,” says Mr. Arakelyan.

The HRAK leader thinks Armenia should speak to the international
community in their language and by their laws.

“As long as we sit at a negotiation table with criminals like Turkey
and Azerbaijan and “pressurize” Turkey by recognizing the parliaments
of other countries and denouncing genocide, similar resolutions
and pressures are natural against a country [Armenia] which lacks
resources and market.”

Harutyun Arakelyan thinks Armenia will gain nothing from the suspension
of the Armenian-Turkish Protocols.

“As soon as international winds start blowing, the protocols will
appear on the parliament’s agenda, and our deputies will ratify them
in a flash.

The danger is not eliminated. Turkey has proved the world that it
is a secular country seeking friendly relations with its neighbours
and EU membership. Armenia’s weak point is “its inner” Turks,” said
Arakelyan meaning the propagandists who state that present Turks are
different from the ones who committed the genocide.

“This approach was put into circulation before the genocide. But we
must understand that there is no difference between them. Today’s
Turks must repay for the atrocities of their forefathers. An U.S.

prosecutor said in Nuremberg that Hitler did not take his crimes to
the grave and each German must repay for his misdeeds. Similarly,
we should have a Nuremberg; we must create a separate court under the
auspices of The Hague, similar to the International Criminal Tribunal
for Rwanda,” Arakelyan concluded.

    Mr. Arakelyan is conspicuously ignoring the Malta Court decisions on the suspects of so-called Armenian collateral casualties following the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire. That was the equivalent of Nuremberg for the Eastern Issue resolution by the allies in 1918. The case had been closed. We believe that today’s Armenians are smarter than what Mr. Arakelyan is claiming for them. They are not dreamers but realists. Under the current circumstances there is no way to be free unless themselves stop feeding the hatred to their next generations. A land locked nation which lives based on former soviet pensions only, and also all its borders are still protected by the Russian army cannot sustain the status-quo.
