Rober Koptas, editor-in-chief of the Turkish-Armenian newspaper Agos, says the decision to build the monument, and now to destroy it, had more to do with domestic Turkish politics than the stalled rapprochement with Armenia.
Rober Koptas, redactorul-şef al ziarului turco-armean Agos, declară că decizia de a construi monumentul, iar acum de a-l distruge, are mai mult de-a face cu politica internă turcă decât cu blocarea strângerii relaţiilor cu Armenia.
