TURKISH NATIONALIST MP "ACCUSES" KURDISH MAYOR OF "BEING ARMENIAN"

June 05, 2014 | 00:15

Turkey's ultra-nationalist and opposition Nationalist Movement Party
(MHP) MP Ozcan Yeniceri has "accused" newly elected City of Agri
Mayor Sirri Sakik of "being Armenian."

Yeniceri made a scandalous statement by once again using the word
"Armenian" in an offensive context, reported Kanalb website of Turkey.

"I don't know whether Mr. Sakik is Armenian or Kurdish, but being an
enemy to [Kazım] Karabekir ***** means being a friend of the Armenian
bandits," the nationalist deputy stated.

Sakik had announced that his first task as Mayor of Agri will be to
remove the statues of Kazım Karabekir--the commander of the Eastern
Army in the Ottoman Empire at the end of World War I--from the city
streets and to rename the city streets named after him.

Sirri Sakik is one of the Turkish parliament's Kurdish members who
recognize the Armenian Genocide.

ATATURK HAD ACCUSED TURKISH COMMANDER OF VILENESS AGAINST ARMENIANS - KURDISH MAYOR

June 06, 2014 | 12:02

Turkey's newly elected City of Agri Mayor Sirri Sakik, who is Kurdish,
continues to make scandalous statements against Kazım Karabekir--the
commander of the Eastern Army in the Ottoman Empire at the end of World
War I--, and these statements have caused quite a fuss in the country.

This time Sakik claimed, on the air of CNN Turk, that he does not want
Karabekir's statue to remain in Agri, since he knows the real history.

The Kurdish mayor recalled that the statues of the Turkish military
personnel who had massacred the Kurds in the 1930s are placed in
Downtown Agri, and added that these statues, together with that of
Karabekir, will be removed from the city streets.

Sakik also recalled the words spoken to Karabekir by Mustafa Kemal
Ataturk, the founder of the Republic of Turkey, and with respect to
the Armenian Genocide.

"See what Ataturk said to Karabekir ***** in connection with the
events in 1915: 'You have done villainy against the Armenians!' Yes,
that's what he said," Sirri Sakik said on air.
