Turkey PM’s Armenian senior advisor is sacked “No Surprise”

By

Etyen-mahcupyanIstanbul-Armenian journalist and writer Etyen Mahcupyan, who is Senior Advisor to Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu of Turkey, has been dismissed from this duty.

As the reason for Mahcupyan’s sacking, they point to the incompatibility of his age with this post, reported Hurriyet daily of Turkey.

Furthermore, this daily has made a ridiculous claim that Mahcupyan was actually removed from this office back in March 9; that is, when he declared what had happened in 1915 was genocide.

After Pope Francis’ recent statement on the recognition of the Armenian Genocide, Etyen Mahcupyan had announced that it is impossible to describe what happened in Africa and in Bosnia as genocide without describing what had occurred to Armenians likewise as genocide. He had stated that the surprising thing is not that the Pope says “genocide” now, but why he did not utter this word for so many years.

Mahcupyan had also noted that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s recent harsh statements against Armenians are linked to pulling the Turkish nationalists—which comprise 4 percent—towards him.

Mahcupyan told Al Jazeera TV that Turkey’s current government is the best for the Kurds and the others.

To Al Jazeera’s query on whether his being an Armenian will help in the settlement of the Armenian issue, Mahcupyan responded:

“I am Armenian. Of course, I also will contribute to the regulation of the Armenian issue.

“[But] I don’t have the authority to represent the Armenian community of Turkey. And the Armenian community of Turkey, [and] the Armenian diaspora are the key players in this matter,” Etyen Mahcupyan said.
