Nurettin Baykal, a Turk residing in Australia, said that around 10 of
100 Turks support Armenians, 20 of them – are against Armenians, and
70 – are indifferent to this nation. Armenians should activate their
national mentality, if they want to gain the Genocide recognition,
Baykal told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. He added that the resolution
of the Kurdish issue is a priority for Turkey, followed by the problem
with Armenians. `Possibly, the two issues will be solved
simultaneously.’
Baykal stressed that President Abdullah Gul and Prime Minister Recep
Tayyip Erdogan are ready to recognize the Armenian Genocide, but they
are afraid of not being supported by Turkey’s population.
