TURKISH `HOSPITALITY’ TO ARMENIAN CATHOLICOS

The prosecutor’s office of Istanbul has filed a lawsuit against
Supreme Patriarch of All Armenians Karekin II on charge of "insulting
Turkish dignity". According to Turkish media, during his Turkey visit
the Armenian Catholicos "made statements insulting Turkish self-esteem
by saying that Turkey has to recognize the killings of 1.5 million
Armenians in the Ottoman Empire as a genocide."

The prosecutor’s office says that it’s impossible to take Karekin II’s
affidavit as there is no cooperation agreement between Armenia and
Turkey in the sphere of jurisprudence. But the office can take a
decision of detaining the Catholicos once he tries to enter Turkey
again.

Emil Lazarian: “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
