/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkey does not respect principles, based on which it is going to join the EU, Armenian Speaker Tigran Torosyan stated at a news conference in Yerevan, when commenting on the incident with Catholicos of All Armenians Garegin II at Istanbul Airport. In his words, the incident did not entail consequences.
«Turkey assesses itself, its image, approaches, values, culture. They have cause for concern. Turks should understand that there is a simple way to get rid of complexes – to reconsider its approach to many matters, including recognition of the Armenian Genocide. The PACE Summer Session will discuss the issue of freedom in Turkey.
According to Turkish media, due to arrival of Garegin II special security measures were taken at Ataturk airport in Istanbul, journalists’ entry to the airport territory was banned. Archbishop Mesrop Mutafian met Catholicos and they left not passing through VIP, as provided before. Next to the airport entrance a group of 50 people organized a protest action. Lraber, official bulletin of Constantinople Patriarchy, notes that those protesting threw eggs on cars of two Patriarchs, who were meeting Garegin II.
