Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu

Says Turkey ready to ‘admit’ and ‘protect’ Syrian Armenians–Kogh
Sirde Togh!

ANKARA–The Turkish foreign ministry on Wednesday issued an
announcement denying Ankara’s role in the military incursion into
Kessab and added that Turkey was willing to “admit” and “protect”
Syrian-Armenians.

On Thursday, however, the Turkish government swiftly blocked access
to YouTube when leaked audio recording on the video sharing site
revealed a plot by Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and others
to attack Syria.

On March 21, Al Qaeda militants stormed the Armenian-populated township
of Kessab in Syria forcing the evacuation of the population to nearby
Kessab. Eyewitnesses on the scene confirmed that the militants entered
Syria through the Turkish border.

“The allegations by some circles that Turkey is providing support to
the opposition forces by letting them use its territory or through
some other ways during the conflict which have intensified recently
in the Latakia/Kessab region are totally unfounded and untrue,”
said the Turkish foreign ministry announcement.

“We consider the efforts of such circles, moving from these claims, to
draw an analogy between the developments in the Kessab region and the
painful incidents of the past as a confrontational political propaganda
attempt and particularly condemn it,” continued the statement.

“In accordance with its humanitarian and conscientious responsibility,
Turkey notified the relevant UN bodies that Syrian Armenians residing
in Kessab region could be admitted in Turkey too and protection
could be provided to them. Also, the representatives of the Armenian
community were informed of the matter through official channels.

Contacts on this issue are underway. Necessary steps will be taken
to meet the needs of Syrian Armenians as is the case for all other
Syrians,” concluded the announcement.

Actions are Louder than Words While the foreign ministry was denying
Ankara’s role in the Kessab incursion and, once again, blaming
“propaganda” for this latest Turkish aggression, audio recordings
were being leaked on YouTube revealing a plot, headed by Foreign
Minister Davutoglu, to attack Syria and ways to justify that breach
to the international community.

The foreign ministry’s reaction to this latest embarrassment for
the Turkish government was not to immediately deny the accuracy of
the audio leaks, but to claim that portions of it–without actually
specifying–were allegedly manufactured.

Turkey’s instinct to deny atrocities is second nature. So, when
Turkey is officially denying something, it is safe to assume that
the opposite is true.
