TURKS’ DISRESPECTFUL ATTITUDE TOWARDS CATHOLICOS OF ALL ARMENIANS IS
INTOLERABLE, RAZMIK DAVOYAN SAYS

YEREVAN, JUNE 23, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. "The visit paid by
Karekin II Catholicos of All Armenians to Turkey was favoured with
the Turkish people’s barbarian attitude. I consider that attitude
towards His Holiness inadmissible and I am suprised how Turks may
speak about democracy, European integration after that," poet Razmik
Davoyan stated at the June 23 press conference. According to him,
anything like that has never happened in Armenia and will never happen,
either, as "our ubringing is put on quite other bases, and it is time
that the Turk authorities think about unbringing of their generations
as well." According to R.Davoyan, His Holiness seemed to be ready
for such an attitide, and it is not occasional that the Catholicos
did not take the car given for him, but took the car of Archbishop
Mesrop Mutafian, the Constantinople Armenian Patriarch. Painter Henrik
Galukian thinks that one may not accuse all the Turkish people of the
happened. "There is a group of people who continue acting in that
way for some reasons. I think that such people will be among Turks
as well who will feel ashamed of such attitude of their compatriots,"
the painter mentioned.
