THE ARMENIAN COMMUNITY OF ISTANBUL SHALL VOTE FOR ERDOGAN'S PARTY, SAYS MUTAFIAN PATRIARCH IN INTERVIEW TO "DER SPIEGEL"
According to "Nethaber", Turkish online publication, the Armenian Patriarch of Constantinople Mesrob II in an interview to "Der Spiegel" declared that the investigation of Hrant Dink's murder was hindered by pressure of Kemalist nationalistic forces, who had sponsored the murder. Mesrob II added that he is going to address with a protest petition the Commander of Armed Forces of Turkey, Yasar Buyukanit.
The Archbishop also stated that the Patriarchy is receiving threatening letters all the time. He said that governor of Istanbul effused to do anything about it and adviced each memberof the Armenian community to hire personal bodyguards. This could sound ridiculous, had not been the security of its citizens a priority for all states. Evidently, forces striving for eliminating the national minorities, are coming into power in Turkey. The idea and the effect of the peacemaking "We Are All Armenians We Are All Hrant Dink" slogan were all undone by the threats of the violent nationalists, Mesrob II Muatafian said.
To the question of the reporter from "Der Spiegel" about the Genocide Mesrob III answered in almost the same words as he spoke on the reception of US Congressmen on May 31. he just added that "We (Armenians) cannot in any case remain silent about the tragedy of 1915.
Mutafian ptriarch also stated that Recep tayip Erdogan's government is muchg closer to the Armenian community than any other. Therefore, he said, the Armenian community of Turkey shall vote for the "Justice and Prosperity" party.
