Expert slams Turkish indifference to anti-Armenian attacksFebruary 4, 2013 - 17:23 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - A Turkologist commented on a February 1 blast outside the U.S. embassy in Turkey at a news conference in Yerevan. “At first, Syria was blamed for the attack. Very soon it became clear that outlawed Turkish center-left forces, who’ve long been refraining from anti-U.S. acts, are behind the explosion,” Andranik Ispiryan said. According to international affairs expert Menua Soghomonyan, the center-left forces aim at establishing a socialist order and release of political prisoners in Turkey. The expert further criticized Turkish authorities’ indifference to recently increased attacks on Armenians in Istanbul. “Turkish authorities didn’t fail to dub the embassy blast as terrorism, while completely ignoring attacks on Armenians,” the expert said, slamming the fact as “permissiveness.” Top stories The Cabinet of Ministers decided on Thursday, November 9 to allocated AMD 120 million to arrange the gathering.
