Ankara – APA. "I do not judge, humiliate president in connection with
his ethnic origin, on the contrary I express my respect. I criticize
president for not seeing or ignoring the dangers of Turkey and not
taking necessary measures," member of Republican People’s Party (CHP),
MP Janan Aritman told journalists in the parliament, APA reports. She
said that new strategy of Armenia and Armenian Diaspora is to make
Turkish people to admit the Armenian genocide. Aritman also touched
on assessment of her statement as disgrace in media and political
circles. She said those who say it do not know the meaning of the
word disgrace.

The parliamentarian said she received many calls and e-mails from
people.

"People say "we support you, you are the voice of the nation". My
assistants and I do not find time to answer the calls and e-mails,"
she said.

Janan Aritman also said she was threatened.

"I have never been afraid of anyone. I do not pay attention to these
threats. I am happy to be the lawyer of the nation. I will continue
it," she said.
