ArmInfo. Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan spoke of Turkish hospitality,
but Armenia and the world failed to understand him for some reason,
said Director of Istanbul-based Global Political Trends Center (GPoT)
Mensur Akgun during the Armenia-Turkey policy discussions held in
Yerevan, Thursday.

In his interview with CNN Turk, the Turkish prime minister meant
the Turkish hospitality when speaking of 100 thsd Armenian citizens
illegally living in Turkey, however, Armenia and the world has made
quite opposite conclusions from this statement by turning it upside
down, Akgun said.

At the same time, Akgun pointed out the positive trends in the Armenian
and Turkish society in terms of willingness to bilateral dialogue. A
lot has changed in both Turkey and Armenia, and the Protocols provide
us excellent motivation for establishment of relations. "We should do
our best for our societies to understand each other better",- he said.

Earlier Erdogan said: "Look, there are 170,000 Armenians in my country
– – 70,000 of them are my citizens, but we are [tolerating] 100,000
of them [illegally] in our country. So, what will we do tomorrow? If
it is necessary, I will tell them, Come on, back to your country.’ I
will do it. Why? They are not my citizens. I am not obliged to keep
them in my country."

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
