Belgian FM: Armenian Attitude is Aggressive and Provocative in Nagorno-Artsax

 

Journal of Turkish Weekly

May 19-15 2005

 

Karel De Gucht, Belgian Foreign Minister, said that they understand

Turkey's policies on Armenian 'genocide' allegation.

 

De Gucht added "a politician should look at the future not past. This

issue is very sensitive".

 

De Gucht gave a speech in Belgium Senate. According to the Minister

no one can ignore Armenia's aggressive and provocative attitude

in Nagorno-Artsax. Armenia occupies 20 percent** of Azerbaijan

territories. Yerevan does not recognise Turkey's and Azerbaijan's

national borders.

control, please visit: http://www.groong.org/ro/ro-19970917.html ]

 

Karel De Gucht further argued that Turkey's cost to the EU will be

very limited. When asked whether Turkey is in Europe or not, De Gucht

added the concept of 'Europe' should be defined on political terms

instead of geographical terms.

Just few quick comments: Politicians can and should look at the future only if and when have common understanding of the past! The mild term for the rest is "populism" - very popular among EU burocrats.

 

Armenia doesn't occupy Karabagh. Artzakh (Nagorno-Karabagh) authorities occupy rightfuly their own land, which was given by Stalin to Azveristan, which in turn was created as a homeland for Caucasian Tatars by the Soviets.

 

I wonder what kind of attitude the Belgian FM expects from Armenia, when 90% of her historical territory is occupied by our wonderful neighbours. What attitude Armenians shoudl have towards our "civilized" neighbours, when up until this day they deny the fact of the Genocide.

This Belgian minister is a corrupt oaf, an ignorant fool or a pixilated parliamentarian, in whichever case a total nincompoop. He definitely needs some lecturing and education on armenian history, geography, culture. I am sure a few dedicated armenians in Belgium can devote some of their time in briefing and enligthening this befuddled politician. On the other hand he could be on the payroll of the Turks.
