Turkish young people protest against Erdogan’s statement
18:33 / 03/18/2010
The statement Turkish Premier Recep Erdogan is evoking more and more responses. Young people gathered in Galatasaray Square and severely criticized Premier Erdogan and the members of the Grand National Assembly representing the opposition anti-Armenian Republican People's Party (RPP) (Turkish: Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi (CHP)), particularly the notorious Armenophobe Caman Aritman.
The Turkey-based Samanyolu news agency reported that the participants in the action carried a placard with a photomontage, Talaat Pasha with Erdogan’s head, with Canam Aritman besides him. An inscription below said: “Erdogan: We will make Armenians go through Erzurum-Kars” and Aritman: Naked and on foot."
Cener Kenar, who spoke at the meeting, said: “In those times they did not ask: what would a state that responded to a Committee’s decision in this way in 2010 have done in 1915? The state reflex has not changed for 95 years. How many premiers have changed from Talaat Pasha to Erdogan Pasha. The premier’s statements are against conscience and international law. Are we advocates of Talaat Pasha or Enver Pasha? We do not want to be grandchildren of Talaat, Enver, and all those that organized Armenian pogroms. We want to be grandchildren of those who hid Armenians in their homes thereby saving them from massacres,” he said.
