Turkish MP: Before considering Turkey's history, Sweden needs to have a look at its own

19 March 2010 [18:50] - TODAY.AZ
Day.Az interview with Member of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey (Parliament) Ph.D Ahmet Tan.
What do you think of the “Armenian genocide” resolutions adopted by the U.S. Congress House Committee on Foreign Relations and the Swedish Parliament?  What will be further development of events?

The whole world knows what the U.S. is doing and why "Weapons of mass destruction in Iraq" actually turned out to be "weapons of mass manipulation of public opinion". The whole world witnessed it. More than a million innocent people paid for this lie with their lives and blood. Something similar is being done for the Turks. A lie about extermination of Armenians by Turks in 1915 is as irresponsible as a lie that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction. This lie is aimed at the masses and is a weapon of mass manipulation of consciousness. This weapon is directed against the whole Turkic world, including Azerbaijanis.

The U.S. is trying to make Turkey to yield to Armenia by any means. The aim is destruct barriers to the merger of Armenia with the western world. The Christian West thus wants to entrench in the Caucasus. Strengthening Armenia means weakening Azerbaijan and hand over of occupied territories to Yerevan. The United States and the West have very simple calculation. Of course, the U.S. games are closely linked with energy calculations and plans to strengthen in the backyard of Russia.

Regarding the recent move by Sweden, to take such a decision, Swedes have sufficient arrogance and shamelessness. Before considering Turkey’s history, the Swedes have to look at their own, and remember their aid to Nazi Germany. Sweden was "neutral" country, but allowed the Nazis to attack neighboring Norway through its own territory. It presented its territory of the fascist army, so that it sheds blood in the neighboring country.

But Turkey did not allow the U.S. military to use its territory for attacks on neighboring Iraq and it did not become an accomplice in bloodshed of innocent people like Sweden in the Second World War. Germany invaded France, and Italy was an ally of Germany. Britain and France wanted to persuade Turkey to join the war. England wanted to use Turkey's airspace. But Turkey rejected its desires. On the other hand, Germany wanted to use Turkish territory for transfer of troops to Iraq. Turkey rejected Germany’s demand as well.

Sweden was also collaborating with Nazi Germany in the field of heavy industry. Germany increased its heavy industry through Sweden. The decision of the Swedish Parliament on the "genocide" is an example of arrogance. Decisions about the "genocide" mean cold war. They want to oppress Turkey and establish a new center of power in the Caucasus under the name "Armenia". George W. Bush called these processes "new crusade". This process will run in parallel with the actions in the Middle East and Afghanistan.

In your opinion, what impact Armenian Diaspora’s “genocide”- related actions will have on the Turkey-Armenia protocols?

Preserving and enhancing hostile feelings towards Turkey is one of the conditions for existence of the Armenian Diaspora. Freezing the Armenian-Turkish protocols is also important for them. The aim of the current actions and pressure in Washington is Barack Obama's speech prior to April 24 and the magic word "genocide". If Obama decides to please the Diaspora and utters this word, the protocols will remain in history as the "Unfinished Symphony.”

Do you share the opinion that the protocols have a positive impact on resolution of the Karabakh problem?

If the protocols are ratified, it will not only have a positive influence on solution of the Karabakh problem, but will also accompany Azerbaijan’s defeat in this fight. Armenia’s contacts with the West will be even greater, and it will feel comfortable unlike present day.

Activities of the OSCE Minsk Group on settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict do not give proper result. Two of the three countries that are members of the group have already recognized the so-called "Armenian genocide" and third one is very close to it. Does this mean that the fate of Karabakh is in the hands of the "impartial troika”? Is there a need for the OSCE Minsk Group to continue activities?

Since its inception, the purpose of this group was to mediate in solving the Karabakh problem. A perfect mediation requires neutrality. Neutrality is a fundamental principle of mediation. Two of the three co-chairs have violated this principle.

A large number of states in the U.S. have also recognized the so-called "Armenian genocide". The U.S. Congress committee has also recognized it. The process is going on. So, the OSCE Minsk Group has lost the right to mediate. In addition, this group for nearly two decades, has made no step to resolve the conflict and their activity is just a waste of time.

Serzh Sargsyan’s government is accused of drug trafficking, corruption and mafia activity in Armenia. It is claimed that the true aim of normalizing relations with Turkey is the use of these bonds in favor of Sargsyan’s mafia. What do you think about this?

Official website of the CIA also proves these words. It says that Armenia grows drugs for local use. This country is a transit for transport of certain drugs from Southeast Asia to Russia and partly to Europe.

In addition, Armenia is a participant of an international trafficking. Who is behind these illegal actions? The U.S. knows this, of course. If they do not announce it, the rest of the world will be in the dark.

Last year Washington announced that the PKK leaders are engaged in drug trafficking and seized their accounts. Everyone knows about the close relations between Armenia and PKK. The United States know this relationship also covers drugs. And only it can shed some light on this.

Lately some media outlets debate one issue – will Turkey give up national interests for the sake of business interests?

Some Turkish media is also concerned over this question. Will Turkey give up national interests for the sake of trade gains? Neither Turkey nor any other country would exchange national interests for cash. No one can disrupt millennium-long friendship and brotherhood between the two nations.
