The chief editor of Agos Armenian bilingual weekly of Istanbul,
Yetvart Danzikyan, has harshly criticized Turkish President Recep
Tayyip Erdogan for his words against Armenians, and in connection
with the European Parliament resolution on Armenian Genocide.
Danzikyan, recalling Erdogan’s statement that, “The decision by the
European Parliament enters from one of our ear and comes out from the
other,” stressed that this shows that Turkey continues its denialist
and racist policies.
“Another time Erdogan had said, ‘Let the historians decide [whether
it was genocide].’ Yes, history has already decided: Genocide.
“Next, Erdogan said Armenians have fled Armenia and have come and
are living in Turkey [today]. Armenians [from Armenia] have not fled,
they work here [in Turkey]; Erdogan offends with this. In addition,
most residents of Armenia are the descendants of those who went to
Armenia from these lands.
“Erdogan used the word ‘deportation’ in connection with expelling
the Armenians [from Turkey]. In English, this has the meaning of
‘displacement,” Agos’ chief editor specifically said.
