Recently a piece of noteworthy information has been published in

`Hayots Ashkharh' and `Golos Armenii' dailies regarding the meeting and

secret negotiations between L. Ter-Petrosyan and the leader of `Grey

Wolves' (`Nationalistic Movement' Party) Alparslan Tyurkesh. Many

details of the meeting in hotel `Grillon' in Concord Square in Paris,

on March 1993, are still unknown.

 

Anyhow 12 years after the before mentioned meeting, on March and April,

2005 the series of articles in Turkish `Milliet' include important

information regarding the contacts and deals between Alparslan Tyurkesh

and his son Tughrul Tyurkesh and Levon and Telman Ter-Petrosyans.

 

According to our information from the Turkish side Turkish Ambassador

Bleda, Secretary of the Embassy Menter Shahinler, as well as the son of

the leader of `Grey Wolves' Tughrul Tyurkesh and from Armenian side

former Foreign Minister Vahan Papazyan and Jirayr Liparityan,

considered as a `gray cardinal' in the administration of the former

President, also participated in the before mentioned negotiations.

 

Quoting Samson Eozararat, (an Armenian or considering himself an

Armenian born in Turkey), who used to be in close cooperation with L.

Ter-Petrosyan `Milliet' reported details about the meetings, kept in

secret before. Eozararat underscored that during the discussions A.

Tyurkesh has mainly introduced Ankara's official stance and

Ter-Petrosyan mentioned that he has many times heard the arguments of

the Turks.

 

By the way the Turks were shocked, when Levon Ter-Petrosyan wished the

best to Tyurkesh's son in Turkish language. They were shocked not

because of the fact of wishing well but because of his perfect

knowledge of Turkish language. In Levon Ter-Petrosyan's letter

addressed to Turkey, published in ''Jumhuriet'' in 1995 the before

mentioned wishes were warmer: ''We express our friendly and warm

feelings towards the Turkish people.''

 

In his interview given to ''Milliet'', Jirayr Liparityan, one of the

participants of the before mentioned meeting, who was the key

responsible for the foreign policy of the former authorities,

underscored that the meeting between Levon Ter-Petrosyan and A.

Tyurkesh was of great significance in the path of interstate relations.

He said there has been no disagreement between L. Ter-Petrosyan and

Foreign Minister Vahan Papazyan in their negotiations with Turkish

officials.

 

As reported by ''Milliet'', quoting Samson Eozararat, a little after

the meeting the two sides discussed the issue of building a monument

dedicated to the victims of 1915 (notice: not the Genocide of 1915, but

simply 1915) on Armenian Turkish border. The most noteworthy thing is

that they were planning to write: `We mourn for the pain we caused': in

Turkish - on the side looking at Armenia and in Armenian - on the side

looking at Turkey.

 

I wonder what pain did Armenians cause to Turkish people? What crime

did we commit, which is equal to Armenian Genocide? Meanwhile it is not

difficult to notice, that by participating in similar discussions and

by giving his agreement regarding the construction of the before

mentioned monument L. Ter-Petrosyan, as a President of Armenia, has, in

fact, played into the hands of Turkey's foreign policy and advocacy and

the latter is shamelessly introducing Turks as the victims of the

Genocide and the Armenians - as those who committed that Genocide.

 

On February 23, 1995, Jirayr Liparityan visited Turkey, where he met

with Tughrul Tyurkesh in Hotel `Hilton' in Ankara. It's worth

mentioning that the meeting that started at 22.45 p.m. finished at

02.00 a.m.

 

`Milliet' also touched upon Samson Eozararat's visit to Yerevan and the

fact that he returned to Turkey from our capital city by the closed

border. It is noteworthy that the secret envoy didn't have any problems

with the border-guards of the both sides. Most probably his departure

from Armenia has been realized by Levon Ter-Petrosyan's direct

mediation.
