Armenia-Turkey

The parliamentary faction of Turkish leading party "Justice and
Development" made a decision not to permit its MPs to leave for
Yerevan to watch "Armenia-Turkey" football match on September 6.

According to "Anatolu" agency, similar decisions were taken by the
parliamentary factions of the opposition "People’s republican" and
"National movement" parties.

The Chairmen of the mentioned parties announced that they are against
Abdullah Gul’s possible visit to Yerevan on the Armenian President
Serge Sargsian’s invitation to watch the football match.

"Justice and development" party didn’t explain taking of similar
decision, but Turkish opposition parties explained their decision by
so-called "occupation" of Nagorno Karabakh, not recognition of the
borders of Turkey by Armenia, also by the insistence of the Armenians
on recognition of the Armenian Genocide, "Armenpress" reported.

“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
