/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "As result of European integration process,
Kemalism stopped being perceived as the official ideology of the
Turkish state," Director of the Institute of Oriental Studies at
the RA Academy of Sciences, Professor Ruben Safrastyan said during
round-table discussions titled "Turkey after presidential elections:
constitutional changes and internal transformations."

He reminded that Kemalism used to base on solidity of the Turkish
state. "Presently, old and new elites (Kemalists and AKP) put
up struggle. The main factor of this opposition is the revised
Constitution that will be for the first time publicly discussed after
official promulgation December 15," prof. Safrastyan said.

Founder of present-day Turkey Kemal Ataturk proclaimed: "How fortunate
it is to be Turk", thus laying the basis of mono-ethnic Turkish state.

“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
