"Hrant Dink was Turkish citizen of Armenian origin. Though we were
against his ideas we would like him to live, we do not want people to
die because of their thoughts. Turks live and contribute to others’
lives," said Muhsin Yazichioglu, leader of Turkey’s Great Unity
Party.
He underlined that the forces against Turkish nationalists take
advantage of Hrant Dink’s assassination.
"We can not allow using this crime as insult, slander and pressure
against Turkish nationalists. Besides, this campaign is not
restricted to us. These forces state that `Azerbaijan might stand
behind this assassination.
"Armenians try to disguise their crimes. Nobody speaks of the
genocide committed in Khojaly 15 years ago. Armenians have not
withdrawn their forces from the occupied Azerbaijani territories. The
world community is indifferent towards these events – nobody hears
about one million people, who have become displaced as a result of
the Nagorno Karabakh conflict," he told the APA Turkey bureau.
Muhsin Yazichioglu said that Armenia does not observe international
legal norms. "Armenians do not show any sign of withdrawal from these
territories. If Turkey and Azerbaijan show their will, Armenians will
withdraw. Armenia can not survive without opening borders with Turkey
and establishing neighborhood relations with Azerbaijan. Turkey
should not open borders with Armenia and should not have any
relations with Yerevan," he said.
