The leader of Turkey Nationalist Movement Party Dovlet Bakhchali
protested against slogan chanted in the funeral ceremony of
editor-in-chief of Agos newspaper Hrant Dink, APA Turkey bureau
reports.
Condemning the assassination of Armenia-born journalist, Dovlet
Bakhchali asked to find and punish the perpetrator. The party leader
said it is not right to blame Turkey after each event. The leader
of Turkey nationalists criticized the slogans "We are all Armenians"
chanted in the funeral ceremony of the journalist and noted that that
script is played after the journalist’s death too.
"Some forces try to use this situation for their own goals and compete
with each other to form guilty Turkish society. It is interesting that,
they all are joined under the slogan "We are all Armenians". Turkey
has great amount of martyrs as the result of struggle with PFF terror
since 1984," he said.
He said that it is shameless to call sincere nationalists potential
culprits and stressed that some Turkish intelligentsia began crusade
against Turkish nationalism. /APA/
