U.S. Congressman Adam Schiff’s appeal to Armenian survivors of the
Genocide for providing their accounts for U.S.

Congress reports, will not produce any results, stated Turkish
Ambassador to U.S. Namik Tan.

He stressed Turkey will give an adequate response to the initiative
taken by the Congressman and Armenians, reported TRT. Ambassador Tan
said that the critical period has passed – he meant April 24.

According to him, U.S. President Barack Obama did not utter the
word "genocide" during his annual address on April 24, which fact is
considered a defeat by Armenians. So they are trying to exert pressure
by means of such initiatives.

Adam Schiff proposed including the Armenian survivors’ accounts in the
U.S. Congress records. As long as the survivors are alive, the first
Genocide of the 20th century can be officially recorded by the U.S.

Congress he said. The record can prove be important for historians
and archives, as well as part of efforts to convince the U.S. Congress
to pass an Armenian Genocide resolution.

"SARDARAPAT" MEMBERS WENT AWAY DISAPPOINTED

Members of Sardarapat Movement today went to the NKR Permanent
Representation in Armenia to hand a video record of the movement’s
April 22 congress and call NKR people for sobriety.

As informed by Sardarapat member Grizelda Ghazaryan, Permanent
Representative Karlen Avetisyan had no time to receive them.

"If you have something to give me, leave it here and go away.

Immediately vacate the office!" Avetisyan told his "unexpected"
visitors.

The group left the building disappointed and offended.

The NKR Permanent Representative had been invited to the movement’s
congress on the Karabakh issue and Armenia-Turkey relations but he
did not show up.

"We were told that Avetisyan did not come as he was not interested
in the meeting. He goes where he is ordered to go," said Sardarapat
members who think that NKR authorities do not take adequate steps
regarding the Karabakh conflict.

"We are not satisfied with Karabakh authorities’ statements. They
dash away every threat hanging over Karabakh but we are convinced
that the issue is periled. RA authorities are ready to unpleasant
surprises. We do not exclude that one day we may wake up to find
an anti-Armenian document signed and put on our tables," Sardarapat
movement member Samvel Harutyunyan told A1+.

TURKEY ‘MAY PLACE’ MILITARY BASE IN AZERBAIJAN

Rasim Musabeyov Turkey is ready to enter Nakhchivan and defeat Armenia,
said political scientist Rasim Musabeyov.

Political experts consider that the meeting of Vasif Talibov, chairman
of the Supreme Medjlis of Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, with chief of
the General Staff of Turkish armed forces Ilker Bashbugla is connected
with the security of the autonomous republic.

Political scientist Rasim Musabeyov explained that the Kars peace
agreement signed between the South Caucasus Federative Republic
(Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia) and Turkey in 1921, Turkey may
take a direct part in defending Nakhchivan. The political scientist
reminded that during the first Karabakh war Turkey warned Armenia
against attacking Nakhchivan and now Baku may dislocate Turkish bases
in any part of Azerbaijan, said the political scientist.

‘In case of tensions, Turkey is ready to enter Nakhchivan and defeat
Armenia. It can even ensure the air defense of Nakhchivan. Armenians
are constantly reminded of this. On the whole, Azerbaijan has just
to ask Turkey and the Kars treaty will not be needed. Under the UN
charter, if a country is subjected to aggression, it has a right to
defend itself both individually and collectively. Anyway, there is
no hindrance for Turkey’s "interference"’, Musabeyov said.
