Baku: Armenian Genocide 'American Bludgeon' against Turkey

PanARMENIAN.Net - "The attitude of Senators and U.S. politicians to a country depends on many factors. If Turkey is not significant for the U.S. so we can expect recognition of the Armenian Genocide. Why is Western Europe so strict on Turkey's accession to the EU and constantly raising the Armenian Genocide issue? Is it commemoration of the killed Armenians or special liking for Armenians? Not at all," Director of the Department of Conflictology of the Institute of Peace and Democracy Arif Yunusov stated. In his words, "the matter is not Armenians but the attitude towards Turkey." Western Europe is rather afraid of this country and doesn't want her to enter the Christian club titled the European Union. If not the Armenian Genocide they will raise another question. The same story is with the United States. Not Armenians but the attitude towards Turkey dictates decisions. To all appearance the Genocide recognition issue will be constantly raised the U.S.



At that, Armenians will launch campaigns and suppose that the question will be settled at last. This fact will be used by the United States as an instrument of pressure upon Turkey in order to impose a decision on Middle East. Americans have plenty of problems in the region. Let's take the Iraqi crisis, Palestinian problem or Israel's relations with the Arab world," the Azeri political scientist remarked. "Meanwhile Turkey can play a significant role that can turn both positive and negative for Americans. Thus, the problem of the Armenian Genocide recognition is just an 'American bludgeon' against Turkey. It will always be in the air. But will it beat? This question depends on the geopolitical situation in the region," Arif Yunusov said, reports Day.az.
