 The reporter of Turkish “Aksiyon” weekly had interview with the most scandalous Turkish opposition representative, Deputy Mrs. Canan Artman. Turkish deputy answered to reporter’s question covering her personal life and political activities.

The weekly published the interview in its website where the deputy answers to questions over Turkish President having Armenian roots.

It’s worth reminding that this very issue has been touched upon yet in 2008 when petition called “We are sorry, Armenians” was launched and joined by thousands of Turks.

Read that part of the interview below.

- Do you regret for your statements claiming Abdullah Gul’s ethnic roots?

- My words were distorted. I didn’t regret since I was not wrong. I am a doctor. Ethnic identity is honor and dignity. I didn’t say anything discriminatory and humiliating. I told it to a reporter of our party. That was a frank talk. I remember I said why the campaign of apologize from Armenians is condemned and president isn’t. And I hurried to add “Maybe ethnic affiliation should be considered?”. I didn’t say that for being published. I knew that for 30 years, but I have never voiced that.

- But how do you know that?

- No details, please.

It’s interesting to remind that the editor of Turkish “Haberinyeri” news website was sentenced for 11 months imprisonment for missing to delete a sentence from his website – “Gul has Armenian origin.”
