Turkey's Foreign Mins. says EU commemoration of Armenian genocide amounts to "religious and cultural fanaticism". (TurkGOV).
The European Parliament known for contriving obstacles to the development of Turkey-EU relations aspired once again to rewrite history regarding the 1915 events, as it has attempted to do so previously.
This aspiration resulted in a preposterous text of resolution dated 15 April 2015 which literally repeats the anti-Turkish clichés of the Armenian propaganda.
With this resolution, the European Parliament repeated exactly a mistake it has made in the past in an incompatible way with international law and exceeding its competence.
We do not take seriously those who adopted this resolution by mutilating history and law. The participation of the EU citizens with a rate of 42% in 2014 elections already implies the place that this Parliament occupies in the political culture of the EU.
We wish success to the politicians who supported the adoption of the resolution today in the European Parliament, in their entrenched partnership with those who have nothing to do with European values and feeding on hatred, revenge and the culture of conflict.
As a matter of fact, contrary to the values constituting the essential reason for the existence of the European Parliament, this selective and one-sided approach of the European Parliament with regards to the 1915 events has the potential to harm the relations between Turkey and EU and falls far behind from bringing a solution to the issue between Turkey and Armenia.
Naturally, this resolution cannot merely be explained away by either lack of knowledge or ignorance.
Unfortunately, what lays behind is a religious and cultural fanaticism and indifference towards others regarded as different.
Members of the European Parliament may better encounter their own past and remember especially their roles and responsibilities in the most abhorrent calamities of humanity such as World War I and World War II, well before dealing with the 1915 issue. Hmmmm......Good riddance don't let the door hit you on your way out of Europe.
#Breaking:
European Parliament follows Pope’s suit, voted to recognize “Armenian Genocide.”
Turkey FMA condemns strongly.
