“What is happening in our region — at the expense of Cyprus and Armenia — is the result of an orchestrated plan to red-carpet Turkey to a hegemonic regional super-power and to secure her with a safe passage to the European continent,” reads the article by Simon Aynedjian posted on Gibrahayer e-magazine. NEWS.am posts the excerpts.

“This effort would have been welcome by all, if the Turkish entry was accompanied by traces of real change and not mere cosmetic ones. By traces of change that would truly manifest that a new Turkey is in the making, with European specifications and European values.

As everyone is well aware … this is not the case. By only paying lip-service to both friends and foes, Turkey wants a ticket to a Union whose fundamental principles she violates. Turkey is benefiting from the spoils of the invasion in Cyprus in 1974, continues to deny the reality of the Armenian Genocide and continues her blockade on Armenia, to name but a few.

Turkey now wants medals, for accepting the Annan Plan (that would capitulate the Cyprus Republic in 2004), for ratifying the Protocols (that would solidify the spoils of the Genocide) and wants a free no-cost pass, to the European elite.”
