TURKEY CONCERNED OVER JACQUES CHIRAC’S VISIT TO ARMENIA

Today some Turkish media published a number of articles, expressing
concern connected with the French President Jacques Chirac’s visit
to Armenia. One of the reasons of this anxiety is the expected visit
of the French President to the memorial to the Genocide victims in
Tsitsernakaberd and the Genocide Museum. The main reason of concern is,
however, the draft on the agenda, which envisages penalty for denying
the Genocide. The vote on the draft law is expected on October 12.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
