Turkish MP: Before considering Turkey’s history, Sweden needs to have
to look at its own

Day.Az interview with Member of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey
(Parliament) Ph.D Ahmet Tan.

What do you think of the `Armenian genocide’ resolutions adopted by
the U.S. Congress House Committee on Foreign Relations and the Swedish
Parliament? What will be further development of events?

The whole world knows what the U.S. is doing and why "Weapons of mass
destruction in Iraq" actually turned out to be "weapons of mass
manipulation of public opinion". The whole world witnessed it. More
than a million innocent people paid for this lie with their lives and
blood. Something similar is being done for the Turks. A lie about
extermination of Armenians by Turks in 1915 is as irresponsible as a
lie that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction. This lie is aimed
at the masses and is a weapon of mass manipulation of consciousness.
This weapon is directed against the whole Turkic world, including
Azerbaijanis.

The U.S. is trying to make Turkey to yield to Armenia by any means.
The aim is destruct barriers to the merger of Armenia with the western
world. The Christian West thus wants to entrench in the Caucasus.
Strengthening Armenia means weakening Azerbaijan and hand over of
occupied territories to Yerevan. The United States and the West have
very simple calculation. Of course, the U.S. games are closely linked
with energy calculations and plans to strengthen in the backyard of
Russia.

Regarding the recent move by Sweden, to take such a decision, Swedes
have sufficient arrogance and shamelessness. Before considering
Turkey’s history, the Swedes have to look at their own, and remember
their aid to Nazi Germany. Sweden was "neutral" country, but allowed
the Nazis to attack neighboring Norway through its own territory. It
presented its territory of the fascist army, so that it sheds blood in
the neighboring country.

But Turkey did not allow the U.S. military to use its territory for
attacks on neighboring Iraq and it did not become an accomplice in
bloodshed of innocent people like Sweden in the Second World War.
Germany invaded France, and Italy was an ally of Germany. Britain and
France wanted to persuade Turkey to join the war. England wanted to
use Turkey’s airspace. But Turkey rejected its desires. On the other
hand, Germany wanted to use Turkish territory for transfer of troops
to Iraq. Turkey rejected Germany’s demand as well.

Sweden was also collaborating with Nazi Germany in the field of heavy
industry. Germany increased its heavy industry through Sweden. The
decision of the Swedish Parliament on the "genocide" is an example of
arrogance. Decisions about the "genocide" mean cold war. They want to
oppress Turkey and establish a new center of power in the Caucasus
under the name "Armenia". George W. Bush called these processes "new
crusade". This process will run in parallel with the actions in the
Middle East and Afghanistan.

In your opinion, what impact Armenian Diaspora’s `genocide’- related
actions will have on the Turkey-Armenia protocols?

Preserving and enhancing hostile feelings towards Turkey is one of the
conditions for existence of the Armenian Diaspora. Freezing the
Armenian-Turkish protocols is also important for them. The aim of the
current actions and pressure in Washington is Barack Obama’s speech
prior to April 24 and the magic word "genocide". If Obama decides to
please the Diaspora and utters this word, the protocols will remain in
history as the "Unfinished Symphony.’

Do you share the opinion that the protocols have a positive impact on
resolution of the Karabakh problem?

If the protocols are ratified, it will not only have a positive
influence on solution of the Karabakh problem, but will also accompany
Azerbaijan’s defeat in this fight. Armenia’s contacts with the West
will be even greater, and it will feel comfortable unlike present day.

Activities of the OSCE Minsk Group on settlement of Nagorno Karabakh
conflict do not give proper result. Two of the three countries that
are members of the group have already recognized the so-called
"Armenian genocide" and third one is very close to it. Does this mean
that the fate of Karabakh is in the hands of the "impartial troika’?
Is there a need for the OSCE Minsk Group to continue activities?

Since its inception, the purpose of this group was to mediate in
solving the Karabakh problem. A perfect mediation requires neutrality.
Neutrality is a fundamental principle of mediation. Two of the three
co-chairs have violated this principle.

A large number of states in the U.S. have also recognized the
so-called "Armenian genocide". The U.S. Congress committee has also
recognized it. The process is going on. So, the OSCE Minsk Group has
lost the right to mediate. In addition, this group for nearly two
decades, has made no step to resolve the conflict and their activity
is just a waste of time.

Serzh Sargsyan’s government is accused of drug trafficking, corruption
and mafia activity in Armenia. It is claimed that the true aim of
normalizing relations with Turkey is the use of these bonds in favor
of Sargsyan’s mafia. What do you think about this?

Official website of the CIA also proves these words. It says that
Armenia grows drugs for local use. This country is a transit for
transport of certain drugs from Southeast Asia to Russia and partly to
Europe.

In addition, Armenia is a participant of an international trafficking.
Who is behind these illegal actions? The U.S. knows this, of course.
If they do not announce it, the rest of the world will be in the dark.

Last year Washington announced that the PKK leaders are engaged in
drug trafficking and seized their accounts. Everyone knows about the
close relations between Armenia and PKK. The United States know this
relationship also covers drugs. And only it can shed some light on
this.

Lately some media outlets debate one issue ` will Turkey give up
national interests for the sake of business interests?

Some Turkish media is also concerned over this question. Will Turkey
give up national interests for the sake of trade gains? Neither Turkey
nor any other country would exchange national interests for cash. No
one can disrupt millennium-long friendship and brotherhood between the
two nations.
