After White House Meeting, Erdogan Says Turkey-Armenia Ties Connected to Karabakh

WASHINGTON (Combined Sources)—Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan told reporters after his meeting with President Obama that the normalization of Armenia-Turkey relations was contingent on the resolution of the Karabakh conflict.

According to Erdogan, the US and Turkish leaders discussed relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia.

“This is important in the context of relations between Turkey and Armenia,” he said, adding that the two also discussed the Karabakh conflict within the framework of the OSCE Minsk Group.

On the issue of Turkish-Armenian reconciliation, Obama said Erdogan had been “courageous” in his efforts to normalize the decades-old resentment and bitterness.

Obama and Erdogan were also reported to have discussed Iran. According to Reuters, Obama said on Monday that Turkey could be an “important player” in efforts to resolve the long-running dispute over Iran’s nuclear program.

The US President made the statement during a White House meeting with Erdogan, who said his country stands ready to do whatever it can to achieve a diplomatic solution to the issue.

Obama said he had stressed the importance of resolving the dispute “in a way that allows Iran to pursue peaceful nuclear energy, but provides assurances that it will abide by international rules and norms.”

“I believe that Turkey can be an important player in trying to move Iran in that direction,” the president was quoted as saying by AFP.

Obama also praised Turkey for its role in Afghanistan, where it has some 1,700 troops.

    Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan had never had another or a contrary view on the issue of Armenia-Turkish raproachment. The big problem is that U.S. President Obama’s rating is drastically going down because of his never-do-what-you-promised policy.

    First, With same precision I can deliver that Erdogan has faced an unusual burst of anger and rebuke from Obama when trying to push his turanistic dream – all Near East under Turkish hegemony.
    Second, erdogan was kind of wrong and correct. Depends on our vision of the Armenian-Artsakh bonding. The word “contingent” has different “flavors”:
    1 : likely but not certain to happen : possible
    2 : not logically necessary; especially : empirical
    3 a : happening by chance or unforeseen causes b : subject to chance or unseen effects : unpredictable c : intended for use in circumstances not completely foreseen
    4 : dependent on or conditioned by something else <payment is contingent on fulfillment of certain conditions>
    5 : not necessitated : determined by free choice.
    So, seems that nalbandian has to learn playing the game of words?

      “Turkey is a critical ally. Turkey is an important part of Europe. And Turkey and the United States must stand together.”
      -President Obama July 2009
      This quote comes to mind.  It trumps everything else he had said, says, or will say.  Obama is not an ally to the Armenian nation or people.

    I don’t know who these pinheads are at the state department or even Mr. Obama, but you cannot attempt to impose a past colonizer to bring either peace or stability in the Middle East. Regardless, thank you Mr. Obama, you finally succeeded in nailing the last nail on the coffin, what many empires could not attempt, you were able to succeeded with a handful of Armenian traitors (Diocese, Catholicos Karekin II, Serzhik, AGBU and Armenian Assembly). I should have voted for Sen. McCain.

    “My hands are tied from Ankara”
    Midnight Express is one of my favorite movies, I’m also convinced that it’s among the top 10 movies for every Greek, Assyrian, Chaldean, Armenian and Arabs living in the diaspora. There is a great line in the movie, that seems to bypass many who have watched it several time. When the judge sentences Billy Hayes he says “I’m sorry my hands are tied from Ankara”.
    This is going to be the next excuse for this administration and Mr. Obama or Mrs. Clinton “My hands are tied from Ankara…”, but this time the word “sorry” will be omitted.
    Therefore, I suggest that the ANC, since the AA seems to have their hands tied, come up with an award to every politician or anyone who questions the Armenian genocide, or decides to dance around the word, the “My hands are tied from Ankara” award. The first freebies should go to Louise Simon and Berj Setrakian, Hirair Hovnanian, the Armenian Assembly and finally the Archbishops of the Diocese!

    Kisul, I don’t swallow, and neither will my patriotic brothers and sisters in the diaspora! I sure won’t allow you to swallow the excrement that  is being shoved in our face.  That’s why we have this forum (thanks to the editorial staff at Asbarez) to make one another aware and re focus our common aim of liberating and reclaiming our ancestral lands and RRR, and demand justice not only from the turks and turkey but every nation that look the other way.

    What I see happening is that Turkish and almost every other country’s politicians meet behind closed doors and devise often unethical strategies for their gains.  Since WWI, Turkey has been effective in marketing itself as a US ally, a Soviet ally, a Russian ally, a Muslim ally, an Iranian ally, a European ally, a Nazi ally, a Jewish ally, an Azeri ally, a Palestenian ally.  They are even a Chechen ally and a de facto Al Queida ally.   In the end their shortchange everyone but are conniving enough for noone to notice. 

    All our leaders do is get a political position and then work on expanding their personal businesses (like restaurants and shopping centers), devouring good meals, and fighting each other.  No strategic meetings between them and foreign nationals occur, except an occasional one with Russia or Iran.  They do no marketing of their strategic location or capabilities nor make any threats.  Such a passive stance will be destructive.

    Why doesn’t the US feel compelled to support Armenia; otherwise Armenia may support the Iranian nuclear program for example.  Why doesn’t Iran support Armenia, fearing it may allow US bases to use its soil.  Why doesn’t Armenia partially absolve itself of responsibility of the Karabakh issue and shift some of the negotiations to Karabakh.  Just like the rest of the world, Armenia needs to approach any set of negotiations with a multi-faceted approach, sometimes siding and defying with the adversary or mediator at the same time.

    As a former American military person, I am disgusted at this president in bowing down under the Turkish sword. I don’t understand the double standards of recognizing Kosovo but not Artsagh. Thank God for the Greek Cypriots veto on Turkish entry into the EU. May the Turks be forever relegated to  cleaning the urinals and toilets of Europe as that is all they are good for. May they go to Jahenem and quickly.

    I think Armenia should recognize Artsagh or declare that they are two states but one nation and start housing developments around the liberated Armenian provences. Armenia needs to wipe clean the undesirabel oligarchil/criminal elements so as to inspire investment.

    When ever I look into the picture of the Erdogan, he reminds me of the Turkish generals of 1918-1920, including Vehib Pasha and Kazim Karabekir, who pushed us into situations of being nearly wiped off from the map of the world.

    In his book the Zangezour and Lake Sevan belong to Azerbaijan and the rest of the Republic of Armenia should be one of the Turkish eastern provinces.
    My dear Armenians we need to widen our vision and see the true nature of such current-day pan-Turkists. I wish we had General Andranik, General Dro, General Garegin Njdeh, and General Silikian alive today to see how our national hero’s would have endorsed the Armenian current government to stretch hands of friendship to people like Erdogan.

    After The White House Meeting, Mr. Obama Should Be Ashamed For The Damage Caused To Global Genocide Prevention Program; More Than The Damage Caused To Armenian Genocide Recognition Itself. It Is Shame That An American President Despite His Presidential Promises Hesitates Even To Use The Proper Word ‘Genocide’ In The Face Of ‘Red Face’ Perpetrator Of Genocide.

    “I believe that a genocide was committed against Armenians, and I think there is ample documentation of that,” McCain was quoted as saying. “The Turkish and Armenian people and states cannot forget the past. Especially Armenians cannot.”
    http://www.panarmenian.net/news/eng/?nid=39188
    It is ironic why McCain did not make the above statements during his campaign a year ago but only months after when he did not need the Armenian votes.  I know it is too late for him and for us, but it is never late for us to learn from the past experiences. Now, it is almost impossible to stop the ratification of the protocols now, but it is not impossible to curtail the consequences.
    At least he is pro-life, pro-family and he never lied so far…
    Just remember before the election how Obama turned against Jeremiah White, his pastor for 20 years, no matter what the reasons were. He never had friends, he never will.

    Masis you are good! 
    Looking at the Erdogan and Obama picture,.. we know who Erdogan is… he is the descendant of the Ottoman leaders, with the same panturkic vision… the western outfits, and deceitful decency do not fool us, (actually they do fool some of our Armenians,why change old habits), but for the Presidency of the US, this is an all time low.  For Obama to deal with a leader who announces that his “people never committed genocide” because “he personally cannot believe that could have happened” is painful to watch.  Erdogan is buying time and wheezling his way out of paying for what his ancesters have done, with the same age old techniques of “lying” and plain old desperate “acting”.  He said at the press conference that what “happened” was for historians to decide not “politicians”.  Which planet is this guy living on?  All reputable Genocide historians have long ago identified what happened to the Armenians as Genocide.  The word Genocide was created by Lemkin to describe what happened to the Armenians.  Then he had the gul to announce that the reporters in Turkey were freer than the ones in the US.  Isn’t that insulting to Obama?  Obama, where is your dignity?  Journalists like Hrant Dink get assasinated in Turkey, and apparently our journalists in the US are in a worse disposition than that?  My, my!  And for him to be paraded as an important player in the peace of the Middle East is very desperate for the United States.  The United States is treating our Genocide as their bargaining chip with Turkey.  I am no longer sure which one has the lower character.

    Thank you Gayane! I truly think that we as a people can very easily have the upper hand in this situation if we play our cards right. The key is for the Armenian governmentto bring our best thinkers from all over together, analyze our options and do what is right for our people, with no regard to the pressures applied on us by the other countries.We need to appreciate our talents more and respect our people’s capabilities. Other countries can have all sorts of meetings deciding our fate, they cannot accomplish anything if we do not let them. Only weak countries become tools in others hands. When it comes to the fate of our people, the buck should stop with our people. All the prepositions on the table are mostly designed to benefit the other countries in question. They seem to be desperate for these solutions though, and that’s where we can find an opportunity to ask for our share of the bargain.

    Compliance status

    We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.

    To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.

    This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.

    Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.

    If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email

    Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

    Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:

    1. Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.

      These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.

    2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.

      Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

    Disability profiles supported in our website

    • Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.
    • Visually Impaired Mode: this mode adjusts the website for the convenience of users with visual impairments such as Degrading Eyesight, Tunnel Vision, Cataract, Glaucoma, and others.
    • Cognitive Disability Mode: this mode provides different assistive options to help users with cognitive impairments such as Dyslexia, Autism, CVA, and others, to focus on the essential elements of the website more easily.
    • ADHD Friendly Mode: this mode helps users with ADHD and Neurodevelopmental disorders to read, browse, and focus on the main website elements more easily while significantly reducing distractions.
    • Blindness Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.
    • Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab, Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

    Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments

    1. Font adjustments – users, can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
    2. Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over 7 different coloring options.
    3. Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
    4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
    5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
    6. Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
    7. Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.

    Browser and assistive technology compatibility

    We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.

    Notes, comments, and feedback

    Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
