Permanent claim to the role of supreme arbitrator in respect of democracy, humanity, human rights and market manipulation by those undeniable values for their pragmatic political objectives was, in fact, the hallmark of the West. For each country to market plans a special geopolitical significance and West is not part of the role assigned to it, one looks for the corresponding blackmail (“fragile”), which allows you to optionally implement long-term political pressure.

For rapidly developing and naraŝivaûŝej the autonomy of Turkey as a “vulnerable” has long been used the theme of “Armenian genocide” by United States politicians and leading European countries (particularly France) turned into opportunistic means periodic political blackmail official Ankara. Every time there is a need to restrain the Wrangler temper Ankara or to induce her to some steps of its official West pulls out chest, old mifologemu on political “Armenian genocide”, arming itself with pacifist or democratic rhetoric and starts to bully Turkey ritual threats to his confession.

In fact, since the beginning of the 80-ies of the 20 century every year in the run-up to the April 24 in the press and in political circles in the United States starts another campaign to intimidate potential recognition of the fact that Turkey “Armenian genocide”. The annual tradition of April was even the President of the United States to Armenians TV address/appeal, which is panic intrigue verbal expectations of consumption or avoidance of the word “genocide”. “The genocidal pressing” United States Turkey in recent years has gained more and more impressive political dimension-was the subject of annual spring debates in Congress. This is despite the fact that for half a century, Turkey was the most reliable South-Eastern bastion of the North Atlantic Alliance. However, the “Armenian genocide” policy of the United States and several other countries remember usually only during election campaigns or during tensions with Turkey, that confirms the political underpinnings of these shares.

In Europe, the question of “genocide” for a long time did not find here wide political use. However, in 1987 when Turkey applied for EU membership, the situation has changed dramatically. The European Parliament decided to recognize the “genocide” in the Ottoman Empire 1915-1917, and on the treatment of the Council of Europe to exert pressure on Turkey. At the Council of Europe decided that Turkey’s refusal to recognize the “genocide” became an insurmountable obstacle to its accession to the EU. It was after that as the magic in the parliaments of a number of EU countries have adopted a resolution on the “Armenian genocide”. Spearheaded by the State Duma of Russia in 1995. It was followed by the parliaments of Greece, Belgium, France, Sweden, Italy, Switzerland, Slovakia, the Netherlands, Germany, Lithuania, Poland, etc., and this is despite the fact that at the end of 2004, the countries of Europe still agreed on a framework for negotiations with Turkey on its accession to the EU. These negotiations began in 2005, and maintained without much enthusiasm and success to this day.

Historians and politicians, of course, know perfectly well that the “Armenian question” was music European powers and Russia in the second half of the 19th century to the Ottoman legacy “section. Later the “Armenian question” along with “Kurdish” used of the SOVIET UNION to exert pressure and weakening Turkey. At the end of the twentieth century the Armenians were in demand again, this time for the collapse of the Soviet Union during the period of Gorbachov “restructuring” was inspired by the Karabakh problem. Later, Russia has actively used the Armenian factor to preserve its control in the South Caucasus, and Western countries-as a powerful instrument of pressure on Turkey. It is clear that in the world there are powerful political forces uninterested in the demise of the myths about “Armenian genocide”, since deaktualizaciâ “Armenian question”, leads to the loss of one of the levers of influence on modern Turkey.

A few years ago in the “genocidal pressure” on Turkey has been regular and extremely offensive in terms of liberal values step: in the parliaments of a number of countries (Switzerland, Belgium, France) have been reached on the discussion of the proposal on criminalizing denial of the “Armenian genocide”. And now the Senate of France, a country which for the first time, democracy index fell to a group not enough democratic States yesterday took a ludicrous Bill large fines and criminalize the denial of the “Armenian genocide”.

By the way, the precedent of such ludicrous practice was based on several years earlier (France once again was among the first), when a number of EU countries decided on the criminal punishment of those challenging the historical fact of the Holocaust. It is not in the Holocaust and “genocide”, but truly absurd and terrible totalitarian precedent that “liberal” Europe has laid down as the norm in the practice of his own life. In fact, it is a criminal punishment for dissent. And what is the difference, that is the subject of restrictions on freedom of expression and thought and political speculation around the historical facts or ideological differences? After all, reasonable question, why the Holocaust, and now the “Armenian genocide” in the hierarchy of values of Europe (particularly France) given priority? Goes, you can get to question the existence of the Lord God, you can, with impunity, preach racist, fascist, Satanic and other views, you can even get away with insulting public caricatures of the Prophet’s personality and feelings billion believers, because freedom of speech and thought, the principle of pluralism is highest and mandatory values, the foundation of European civilization?! And here is questioning the fact of the Holocaust or the mythical “Armenian genocide” no-follow criminal price instantly. As well as in the case of the criterion of pluralism, the principles of freedom of speech and thought?

This dangerous totalitarian precedent already gives a sinister shoots and face the inside completely undermine the foundations of Western liberal world order. With “hard hand” in some countries of the EU legislative process in the direction of Frank mockery of fundamental liberal values are already gone. Those who condemn now parliaments of other countries, if they would continue the practice of stifling freedom of thought through the manipulation of history? Indeed, history is replete with large-scale bloody events and field for such dangerous initiatives infinitely

It should be noted that the sustainability of the “genocidnoj” political games, repeating from year to year and periodically scalable, largely responsible for the Ankara. Such acts of political pressure and blackmail only become permanent if they reach a certain goal. Turkey, instead of openly demonstrate intransigence and even some “pofigizm” to the topic of “genocidal blackmail” why-from the very beginning as jittery and defensive behaviour. For entry into the European Union, to appease the West and neutralize threats “genocidal recognition” Ankara repeatedly had to be some concessions on its foreign and domestic policy, and this is even more inspired official circles in the United States and leading European powers (particularly France) to reuse the instrument of political blackmail.

Last year’s threat to take action and Sarkozy “materialized” largely due to an overly nervous reaction of the authorities of Turkey itself. Official Ankara, becoming his new “velikoderžavnomu” policy would demonstratively ignore the next threat “genocidal”, adhering to the principle: “a famous East dog barks, caravan. Or several attackers could take preventive measures that could create serious problems of France itself. But instead once again mobilized all political, diplomatic and lobbying resources to prevent the adoption of a Bill in the Senate of France. Unfortunately, Turkey has long been a hostage of this mythical “genocidnoj threat” and each time the same rake. It is understandable that intensive efforts Ankara (as previously) can suddenly cause “victory through” result: French President can impose temporary veto the Bill. But, apparently, Turkey will have to pay a political price, since the agreed game Sarkozy and the French Senate, perhaps originally consisted of just such a variant of development of the situation. The threat has passed, official Ankara temporarily relieved translates the spirit, believing that got small losses. But after a certain time and again repeated in France, the United States or another country, in one form or another.

Meanwhile, in expert and social circles in Turkey itself is already a growing awareness that such purely protective behavior model is flawed and has no prospects for the country. Increasingly there are calls not to go to the “genocidnoj” of the West. Well, let them take the Senate of France or the United States Congress introduced bills and resolutions on the “Armenian genocide”, say the head of the White House finally will pronounce this word and that? That really will win the West and that really loses Turkey? One, it is obvious that in this case, the game actually will lose its meaning, since the resources of “genocidal blackmail” will roll out gradually. In any case, it is high time that Turkey grow out of “short obtain records” arm of the United States in the region and to develop new and more prominent, principled and independent-model behavior, for which this country has all the necessary facilities and resources.
