Ropper Hattechyan: As far as the political situation is tensed, the terrorism will not stop in Turkey

YEREVAN, JULY 28, ARMENPRESS: The terrorist movements have become rather active in Turkey during the recent period. There are mainly being organized by Kurds but there is an opinion that the latter have been organized by others – under the name of Kurds. Editor-in-chief of the Armenian “Marmara” daily published in Turkey Ropper Hattechyan told Armenpress. He noted that the opposition does not want the September 12 constitutional referendum be a success and it has its role in terrorism. “The situation raises concern and before the referendum the situation will continue be tensed,” Hattechyan said, expressing opinion that as a result the “yes” will win.

The Kurdish issue in Turkey remains but according to him, in that country a powerful opposition is functioning. “There are 2 very strong opposition parties operating against Erdogan’s government,” he said, noting that these parties are against the initiatives of the government which becomes a reason of tensed situation. “As far as the political situation is tensed, the terrorism will not stop,” the chief editor said, noting that the opposition has serious intentions and the government has firm positions.

Referring to the constitution the editor in chief said this is a constitution dictated my militaries and needs to be changed for being considered a democratic one.
