Armat Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 (edited) After watching Rose show on PBS on Erdogan,I got real pissed and sent this letter to him personnaly. I was disappointed that Mr. Rose did not ask the hard questions to Turkey’s PM Erdogan such has violations of numerous human rights abuses, denial of Armenian Genocide, blockading a neighbor country Armenia for over decades. Turkish politicians have persecuted many intellectuals and citizens for mentioning Armenian Genocide in its proper context as genocide, most recent example Orhan Pamuk, who faces up to three years in jail if convicted at his trial in December of "denigrating Turkey", said that reforms promised by the Turkish government in return for a guarantee of talks on EU membership had not materialized. Unfortunately your interview did not reveal why most EU member countries have reservations about Turkey’s inclusion in EU and your interview read like another PR campaign on Turkey’s behalf without much shedding any meaningful insight. I hope we can see you tackle Mr. Erdogan more seriously on different occasion.
