Armenia-Turkey Normalization will Destroy U.S. Armenian Community, Says Erdogan’s Spokesman

Ibrahim Kalin is the spokesperson for Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The current Armenia-Turkey normalization process will destroy the Armenian community of the United States, said Ibrahim Kalin, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s press secretary.

Kalin made the remarks during a meeting with Turkish-Americans in Chicago, the Anadolou news agency reported on Monday.

Kalin said that the Armenian lobby in the U.S. has made anti-Turkish sentiments part of its identity.

“A completely different process is being carried out in the Caucasus now, and the basis on which that diaspora has formulated all its arguments is on the verge of collapse,” said Kalin.

“A completely different process is being carried out in the Caucasus now, the basis on which that Diaspora has built all its arguments is on the verge of collapse. In other words, the conflict between Armenia and Turkey or the Armenian-Turkish conflict in the Caucasus is coming to an end. “With the liberation of Karabakh and the reintegration of that region into Azerbaijan, a new page in history has been opened,” Kalin said.

“The conflict between Armenia and Turkey, or the Armenian-Turkish conflict in the Caucasus is coming to an end. With the liberation of Karabakh and the reintegration of that region into Azerbaijan a new page in history has been opened.” Kalin proclaimed.

The Turkish presidential spokesman said no one else has any other expectations to this end, and Ankara and Yerevan are taking reciprocal steps to normalize relations.

At the same time, Kalin said that Armenia stands to benefit the most from this process

“The normalization of relations with Turkey will contribute greatly to Armenia, a landlocked country, which is economically weak and is a ward of Russia, both politically and economically,” Kalin said.

    Azeri Turks will never live in peace until they leave all our occupied lands. Their doom is inevitable and we will sock it to them in many places and ways. Hot butts in Ankara bad Baku will not survive the doom they shall face.

    “The current Armenia-Turkey normalization process will destroy the Armenian community of the United States, said Ibrahim Kalin”

    I wonder how the Armenian community will be destroyed? I think Mr. Kalin has forgotten that The US already recognized the Armenian Genocide. Turkey must accept The Treaty of Sèvres and repatriate Armenian lands back to Armenia. Turkey signed the Treaty with the Allies.

    Agree: All our lands should be returned before any talks takes place. Pashinian will stuff it up again as he stuffed every thing he did. He is a hopeless politician. If not he is not a politician. Go back to Gumri.

    Armenian government should not deceive the people again by saying there is no talk about corridor and no preconditions; while Kalin is professing for both the corridor and Artsakh.
    Armenia should base its long range geopolitical policies on the preservation of the statehoods of both Armenian republics with secure borders and not on a better economic future. Turkish government has never cared nor will care for the benefit of Armenians. They are trying to predispose the negotiating team towards their ultimate goals.

    Maybe instead of posting idle threats here Armenians should ask themselves how it is that a traitor and loser like nikol got elected twice. Perhaps fix this problem before making threats against the turks and their satellite state to the east.

      Agreed. Three years ago Armenians in Armenia and the diaspora rejoiced in the hundreds of thousands for getting rid of the so-called “corrupt Karabagh clan” while a small group of us were warning that this trojan horse named nikol had been brought in to hand back Artsakh once and for all. Rather than accept their mistake and oust him after the disastrous and treacherously planned war, the Armenians voted him in again, or abstained from voting which is the same as voting him in. And they look to blame others for all that has gone wrong. Well my dear Armenian people, I hope you’re enjoying your democratically elected traitor. I hope you’re enjoying swimming in your own excrement.

      Continuation of the 1921 shameful Moscow treaty continues even today by KGB Putin and our old enemy Turkey, against the Armenian nation of the world, for the final solution by a stupid politician named Pashinyan Nikole, like Lev Karakhan. I wonder if Nikole ever heard of this treaty and the character of Lev Karakhan whose bolshevik thoughts destroyed Armenia, guided and brainwashed by another KGB leader named Vladimir Lenin.

    My Armenian friends I have read your articles and posts with interest and reflection perhaps our past and animosity has not kept up with the future of our nation. We have loss much and we are not the Jewish state in terms of military strengths or alias to our rescue. Perhaps it is time to intergrate and except realities for our survival, culture and our children’s future. We must overcome and be better spiritually and intellectually and except the new reality. It does not matter where we live, land is only an anchor, but, to live in prosperity, with pride and understanding that no matter where we live we must be dignified of who we are Armenians!

    Yeah, let’s demand all of our ancestral lands that have been occupied by others for over a century now. The people that have lived and live there now call these places home, and probably don’t know and don’t care the history of the land. Do you really think displacing these people is a long term solution for peace? I mean, do you really think they will go peacefully and hold no resentment towards us for “taking” their land? Instead of promoting these fantasies and making idle threats that aren’t based in reality, we need to face reality and accept some things. For one, stop blaming Pashinyan for everything. The lead up to the second war took over 30 years, during which inept and corrupt leadership took hold and never once properly prepared for a war like last years’. A more practical, achievable and realistic solution to our problems would be to build up our military, continue to drive out corrupt actors that enrich themselves, and demand status for Artsakh. Anything else is purely fantasy that the international community just laughs at.

      You blame others for promoting fantasies while you seem to be out of touch with reality yourself. Despite what took place in the last thirty years, which all four presidents share blames, the fact remains that it was Pashinyan himself who dismantled the army by retiring all the battle-hardened army generals assigned by former regimes and who had fought in the first war of liberation, with great valor and with countless victories, replacing them with incompetent and inexperienced generals subservient to him. It was none other than Pashinyan himself who wasted hundreds of millions of dollars buying useless Russian military equipment, such as a few fighter jets, he never did and never could put to use during the last war he helped initiate it. He could have used those millions to buy thousands of modern military grade UAVs (drones) to reverse the course of that disastrous war which he promoted by his empty rhetoric and with nothing to back them up. He’s been a total failure since day one!

    I find it rather comical that this Turkish imbecile refers to Armenia as a landlocked country which is economically weak and is a ward of Russia. This is coming from an official of a terrorist state, the ONLY Muslim nation in the world that has been acting as front line prostitute to its Christian NATO pimps for the last seventy years since 1952 when they joined this club to save themselves from imminent Soviet invasion and takeover. The price of admission into this Christian club for this Muslim Turkish terrorist state was the deployment of some troops into the Korean War on their side. Ever since and for the last seventy years, as Muslim Turkish prostitutes to their Christian pimps, they have been reaping the fruits of their labor, acquiring advanced military weaponry and technology to protect themselves from countless nations whose lands they have occupied and whose populations they have murdered in millions.

    Despite their anti-western rhetoric and treasonous acts, i.e. by collaborating with the Russian arch-enemy of the club to which they belong, they continue to remain in this club because they know very well that their survival depends on serving their Christian NATO masters. Denigrating the Armenians and Armenia the way they do is verbal diphtheria they can get rid of and they speak of Armenians the way they do because deep down they are fearful of Armenians united as one. They know what we are capable of doing to them and that’s why they have never dared to face Armenians on a level playing field. They know if they do we will annihilate them. Always remember that these Turkish terrorists are nothing more than a bunch of cultureless nomads armed with NATO weapons. Nothing more!

    Publicly and lawfully prosecute pashinogly the POOP and execute him and his syphilitic qp (civil contract) dogs. All of them! Then Armenia will have a small chance of coming out from this situation of daeth and hopelessness. Prosecute and execute ALL traitors (not deceived illiterate morons).

    We should have 2 Armenias, Eastern Armenia (following Russian sphere of influence) and Western Armenia (following Western sphere of influence), like North Korea and South Korea.

      We should only have ONE United and Independent Armenia that influences the world and is not an sphere of influence by any foreign power. United we stand. Divided we fall!

    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.

    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
