Erdogan to Visit Occupied Cyprus

Turkish media are reporting that Recep Tayyip Erdogan will visit northern Cyprus next week shortly after being inaugurated as president.

His visit on Monday to occupied Cyprus will see him oversee the opening of a new huge mosque north of Nicosia, according to the DHA news agency.

It follows late June’s electoral triumph which saw Erdogan returned as president and his AK Party form a parliamentary alliance with Turkish ultranationalists. Many international observers said the contest was not held in fair conditions, with the country’s media largely ignoring opposition parties and candidates.

In recent months there has been an ongoing war of words between Athens and Ankara regarding sovereignty in the Aegean Sea and the conflict over Cyprus.

Police officials said that these measures taken to protect Erdogan and his delegation

President Erdogan criticized the Pope in his speech in Istanbul on March 26, 2017, before the April 16 referendum.

Erdogan gave the Pope a gift from Iznik

Erdogan gave the Pope the Italian and English prints of the Mesnevi and the miniature Iznik tribe who depicted the old Istanbul in 24 pieces. The Pope presented Erdogan with a statement expressing a medal of peace, anguish over the evil, “This medallion represents a world based on peace and fairness”.

“These are not honest. Now the members of the European Union came together in the Vatican. These developments evoke something; no, why did you come together in the Vatican, why did you come together in the presence of the Pope. Since when has the Pope been a member of the European Union? The Crusader alliance showed up at last. What did they tell us so far? ‘You are saying this to us, but there is not such a thing’. Yes, because you do not let Muslim Turkey. I have spoken to them, see you tomorrow. “

CCAF the French of Armenian origin expect firmness from President Macron against Erdogan visit

January 5, 2018 By administrator

The reception of President Erdogan on Friday, January 5th (Armenian Christmas Eve) is causing trouble among the Armenian community in France. The defenders of democracy, human rights and minorities fear that France will not show sufficient firmness in the face of the Turkish President who has taken good care, for several years, to multiply insults and provocations against of Europe and its leaders. Moreover, this visit to France comes in a climate fraught with threats against the representatives of the Armenian communities and Turkish opponents refugees in Europe, as reported on December 20 a statement from Garo Paylan deputy HDP.

The President of the Republic promised to address the issue of human rights during his meeting with his Turkish counterpart. The French of Armenian origin, in the grip of the Ankara maneuvers that made the export of the genocide denial of 1915 a priority of his foreign policy, expect no less. In particular, they ask Emmanuel Macron not to dodge the problem of the Armenian genocide which is at the root of the criminal and expansionist pursuits of successive Turkish regimes for a hundred years. A fascinating tradition which unfortunately finds today in Mr. Erdogan a worthy heir.

Thus, 5 years later, almost to the day, the assassination of three Kurdish activists in Paris, in which the justice had pointed out the involvement of the Turkish secret services, is preparing to roll out the red carpet in front of the head of this Genocidal state even before becoming a terrorist and a liberticide? Because we are not mistaken: the terrible repression of which the people of Turkey and the democrats of this country are paying the price today, is part of a long tradition of political persecution, which reached its peak with the genocide of the Armenians, but which has also resulted in successive massacres against the Christian, Greek, Assyrian-Chaldean, Kurdish, Alevi, Turkish Democrat minorities, not to mention the occupation of Cyprus, a member of the European Union. The big powers and Europe bear a heavy responsibility in this situation. The international complacency towards all these crimes nourishes indeed for one hundred years the arrogance of a power which does not cease to taunt the democracies, to trample on their values, while claiming themselves unduly of their camp. The liabilities are heavy for Turkey.

Violence and duplicity are at the heart of the actions of this state, including against France, as evidenced by the fact that, in addition to the murder of Kurdish activists in Paris, the arrests in the form of hostages taken against French journalists in 2016 and 2017. What’s more – should we call him back? – its ultra-nationalism, with its 20-year history of Islamism, poses a threat to its neighbors, in particular the Republic of Armenia, against which the Turkish state is blockading and continues to spread hatred. This situation also requires a response from the highest officials of the international political scene.

Greeks Unnerved Over Erdogan’s Call to ‘Revise’ Turkish-Greek Border Treaty

December 7, 2017 By administrator

The 1923 Treaty of Lausanne, the post-WWI document defining the borders of modern-day Turkey, including its western borders with neighboring Greece, has been called into question by the Turkish president.

Less than a day before setting off for his historic two-day visit to Greece, Erdogan told Greek journalists that the treaty is in need of an update.

“In fact, all agreements pacts in the world should be updated over time,” Erdogan said, speaking with Greece’s Skai TV and the Kathimerini newspaper. “Lausanne too, in the face of all these developments, is in need of an update. This update would be beneficial not only for Turkey but also for Greece,” he added.

Erdogan did not expand on what sorts of changes he had in mind, but called the distances between some of the islands in the Aegean Sea, over which Turkey and Greece have competing claims, “problematic.” He added that issues concerning territorial waters, airspace and the continental shelf could be “easily” resolved.

US Congress members planning ‘unprecedented trip’ to Armenia

September 16, 2017 By administrator

A delegation of US Congress representatives is visiting Armenia this Sunday upon the initiative of Jackie Kanchelian Speier, a congresswoman of Armenian descent.

“Our parents would be really proud to see that we are visiting Armenia,” VOA News quotes the legislator as saying.

The delegation includes pro-Armenian Congress members, such as Frank Pallone (who delivered US humanitarian aid to Armenia after the 1988 earthquake), Anna Eshoo (also an ethnic Armenian), and David Valadao (whose initiative to allocate additional funds to Nagorno-Karabakh to assist in demining activities recently received a Congress approval). Tulsi Gabbad and Jim Sensebrener, elected respectively from Hawaii and Wisconsin, are also expected be among the guests.

The agenda of the biggest ever US delegation’s visit to Armenia (since the country’s independence) is going to be really very busy, Kanchelian Speier said, as anti-corruption and democracy development initiatives are going to be among the key priorities.

The congresswoman said the trip also has an emotional significance for her as an Armenian conducting her ever first visit to her historical fatherland.

She added that they intend to address also political issues to increase the US assistance to Armenia “which is under Russia’s aggressive influence”.

The US legislators are also planning to discuss with the Armenian authorities measures towards fostering the country’s energy independence.
