SCANDAL AT ISTANBUL AIRPORT PROVES THAT PROCESS OF DEMOCRACY
ESTABLISHMENT IN TURKEY REMAINS AT LOW LEVEL
Yerevan, June 23. ArmInfo. The scandal at the Istanbul airport proves
that the process of democracy establishment is still at low level
in Turkey, as the Turks can’t properly receive the Catholicos of All
Armenians. Famous Armenian writer Razmik Davoyan said this commenting
on the actions of the young skin head Turks at the Istanbul airport.
Criticizing the Turkish publicity, Razmik Davoyan emphasized that the
Catholicos of All Armenians proved that he is not prejudiced against
Islam by making the current visit to Turkey. He added that the lack
of diplomatic relations with Turkey should not put at stake the mere
humane relations with the Turkish people. “I want to believe that the
incident at the Istanbul airport is not an indicator of the Pan-Turkish
hatred to the Armenian people,” Davoyan said. He expressed hope that
Garegin II would continue his visit in more peaceful conditions and
all the planned visits would be properly held.

“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
