Rober Koptas, glavni urednik tursko-armenskog lista Agos, kaže da odluka o izgradnji tog spomenika, a sad o njegovom rušenju, ima više veze s domaćom politikom Turske nego sa zastojem u približavanju s Armenijom.
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.
