“Though the draft resolution on the so-called Armenian genocide is discussed in the US congress from time to time, the US government impedes its adoption. After the recent crime they say, there solution is supposed to be adopted in the US congress. I do not think so, Hrant Dink’s murder is an individual case,” Former Chief of Caucasian Department of Turkish Foreign Ministry, Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador, author of 20 books on the so-called Armenian genocide and the book “Our martyr diplomats” Bilal Shimshir said in his exclusive interview to the APA.

“Though the draft resolution on the so-called Armenian genocide is discussed in the US congress from time to time, the US government impedes its adoption. After the recent crime they say, the resolution is supposed to be adopted in the US congress. I do not think so, Hrant Dink’s murder is an individual case,” Former Chief of Caucasian Department of Turkish Foreign Ministry, Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador, author of 20 books on the so-called Armenian genocide and the book “Our martyr diplomats” Bilal Shimshir said in his exclusive interview to the APA.
He said that Hrant Dink’s murder is exaggerated in Turkey.
“I am the man underwent systematic Armenian attack on Turkish diplomats. When Armenians killed our ambassador to Paris Ismayil Erez, ambassador to Madrid Danish Tunaligil, ambassador to Belgrade Galib Balkar and other diplomats there were no such funerals as in Istanbul, even very few people offered condolences. European press wrote very little about the death of our diplomats, and very much about the so-called Armenian genocide. We seem to forget all these. The murder of an Armenian is an individual case. We would just offer condolences and say that we do not accept the event. But the state’s standing up is senseless. What’s the matter? Do we have complex before Europe? Europe and the US commit crimes everywhere; just remember how many people are killed in Iraq every day. If U.S adopts false genocide decision against Turkey after this event, it will make mistake. When I say Turkey I mean Azerbaijan too. We are unique. This kind of move does not become to a great country,” he said.
Bilal Shimshir stressed that although the U.S Congress adopts law false “Armenian Genocide”, this decision will not have any influence power.
“Englishmen exiled prime minister and the members of the government of Ittihad and Tereggi government to Malta in 1915 because of Migration events. There were Azerbaijanis too among exiled people. They were accused of committing genocide against Armenians. But English prosecutor could not launch criminal case against them as he did not have any arguments. Armenian claims were groundless and these claims did not have any legal basis. Those who were exiled to Malta were exonerated from the blames in 1921. But to put this issue in the agenda is political campaign and we do not bow for it,” he said.
He noted that it high time to attack.
“The last point of my diplomatic mission was in Australia. If Englishmen did not pursue genocide policy against local people, the number of aborigines would not be 15m now. Do you know that in Lausanne Lord Jurson told Ismet Pasha that “You committed genocide against Armenians”, Ismet Pasha answered “Our hand is clearer than yours” We are a great nation. We should get rid of the complex being insulted”, he said.
Bilal Shimshir stated that if US Congress adopts the decision on so-called genocide, Washington will suffer from its consequences.
“Because, we have enough evidences. Two million Armenians try to call us for fighting, relying on the USA and Europe. They want the borders to be opened. There are some Turkish persons engaged in this propaganda. There are two conditions to normalize the relations with Armenia. First, Armenia must liberate the occupied Nagorno Karabakh territories, and second, anti-Turkish words- so-called genocide and claims to Azerbaijani territories- must be removed from independence act of Armenia. We must show Europe Armenians crimes to Azerbaijan and Turkey. Among 15 republics separating from Soviet Union, only Armenia pursued an aggressive policy. But instead of delivering these to the world, we were sad for a murder of an Armenian. It is inadmissible” , he said.
He noted that claims “We all are Hrant, we all are Armenians” are wrong from the root.
“What does it mean? There were no one saying “We all are Turkish” when our diplomats died. The terrorist killing Galib Balkar, Turkish ambassador to Belgrade, lives in Yerevan now. His name was included to the state protocol as a hero. Some Turkish journalists say “We should open the borders so Armenia forgives us”. I couldn’t understand it. We also saw such events. In 1919 when Ataturk held a Congress in Erzurum, some societies in Istanbul presented a report to the USA, asking to give Armenia a number of provinces. They are marginal groups and can only make hubbub. They are nonsense for great Turkish nation. They aren’t worth being disappointed” , he said. /APA/
