Turkish Institute for Progress are we advertising for Obama or to compel the Armenians to work with us?

Even though we haven't made much progress in Turkey among the internal groups, it could be possible that one day we will establish a dialogue within Turkey.  Then hopefully get some sort of dialogue with Armenians.  We try so hard with our advertisements - are the Armenians paying attention to this at all?

Turkish Institute for Progress, why are we Turks the bunt of the world's jokes?

Turkish Progress blockade of Armenia for 20 years is reconciliation

Despite Ankara's famous meddling in Israel's blockade of Gaza with the failed Mavi Marmara.
Over 20 years Turkey has had a blockade on Armenia

Is reconciliation really possible with double standard toward Armenia vs. Gaza

Can Turkey block the House Resoultion #154 for Truth and Justice
Recognizing the Armenian Genocide or should Turkey convince the
world they want dialogue and reconciliation with Armenia

How legal is Turkey's blockade of Armenia?

As we will no doubt be aware, the government in Ankara is launching a legal challenge to Israel's blockade of Gaza imposed in response to missile attacks by militants in that territory. Unfortunately for Turkey, this has had the effect of highlighting that it has itself for almost two decades been blockading a neighbouring country which has never committed an act of aggression against it: Armenia.

The blockade goes back to the late 1980s and early 1990s when Armenian fighters intervened to assist the Armenian majority republic of Nagorno-Karabakh which had declared independence from neighbouring Azerbaijan. Turkey, feeling the need to assist its ethnic cousins, the Azeris, closed the border with Armenia. Lately, despite some rapprochement between Yerevan and Ankara, Armenian-Turkish relations remain difficult and the two countries have no diplomatic ties.

The blockade (allied with one imposed by Azerbaijan) has had a devastating effect on the Armenian economy because of the country's dependence on outside supplies of energy and most raw materials. Compounding this is the fact that road and/or rail through Georgia and Iran are inadequate or unreliable. The country endured several years of freezing winters before the government decided in 1995 to reopen an ageing nuclear reactor at Metsamor - this in an area that is prone to earthquakes. In 1988, Armenia had been hit by one such earthquake and the subsequent blockade caused unimaginable hardship for the victims.

Recent statements from Armenia note that Turkey is still showing no signs of lifting the blockade.

So, as Turkey launches a high profile and high stakes challenge to Israel's blockade of Gaza, many people are wondering about the legality of its blockade on Armenia - and the hypocrisy.

100 have been filled with Genocide of Armenians, Greeks, Assyrians and an illegal occupation of Cyprus

Why are Armenians skeptical about our desire to have dialogue

Is Genocide Denial Censorship

or Reconciliation

 

NEW YORK, April 6, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Leaders of the Turkish Institute for Progress today applauded Rep. Curt Clawson for circulating a resolution that aims to begin the healing process between Turkish and Armenian communities in the United States and help find a durable solution that will last for the next 100 years.

"This resolution is a positive effort to create a much-needed future for Turks and Armenians in the United States and across the world," said former Rep. Solomon Ortiz, who serves as an advisor to the Turkish Institute for Progress. "During the 28 years that I served in Congress, there was never a resolution like this one that advanced reconciliation between these two countries. This measure hopes to end the century of divisiveness while strengthening the national security interests of the United States."

"Members of Congress have long sought an alternative that looks to the future and the Turkish Institute for Progress applauds this resolution for doing just that," Rep. Ortiz continued.

During his 28-year tenure, Rep. Ortiz served on the House Committee on Armed Services and as the Chairman of the Committee's Subcommittee on Readiness.

Rep. Clawson's resolution is now actively seeking cosponsors and additional support. Full text of the measure is below:

RESOLUTION

Calling on the President to work toward equitable, constructive, stable, and durable Armenian-Turkish relations for the next hundred years based upon the two countries' common interests and the United States' significant security interests in the region.

Whereas the Obama Administration has, since early 2009, sought to improve Armenian-Turkish relations;

Whereas at the start of this process, President Barack Obama had, on April 6, 2009, voiced the United States Government's expectation that the Armenia-Turkey dialogue would "bear fruit very quickly,'' but recent attempts to reestablish diplomatic relations have been unsuccessful;

Whereas while other nations in the region continue to deepen their political and economic partnerships with Iran and Russia, the United States' leverage in the region is rapidly diminishing and Turkey's geostrategic position between Europe and the Middle East has made the country an important partner in combating extremism in the region;

Now, therefore, be it

Resolved, That the House of Representatives calls on the President designate a task force comprised of Members of Congress, administration officials, and representatives from Turkey and Armenia charged with working toward equitable, constructive, stable, and durable Armenian-Turkish relations for the next hundred years, based upon the two countries' common interests and the United States' significant security interests in the region.

The Turkish Institute for Progress was formed to provide a forum for dialogue in pursuit of peace, and cooperation between Turkey and the international community. By meeting on the common ground defined by shared regional political, economic, energy, transport, scientific, technical, and cultural issues, TIP pursues a constructive dialogue to ensure that international relationships with Turkey are marked by unity and the shared pursuit of common goals.

Turkish Progress for denying genocide of Armenians - opportunities for progress between Armenia and Turkey

 

 

 

Now that is Turkish Progress!!!!
 

Turkish Institute for Progress Applauds South Dakota State Senate for Rejecting Resolution that Undermines Opportunities for Progress Between Turkey and Armenia -

One-Sided Narrative Ignored Millions of Casualties in the Armenian Civil War of 1885-1919

       

       

 

 

NEW YORK, March 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- As the latest step in their campaign to create opportunities for dialogue between Turkey and Armenia that will find solutions to last for the next hundred years, the Turkish Institute for Progress today applauded the South Dakota State Senate for rejecting HCR 1009, the state's one-sided narrative that ignores millions of casualties in the Armenian Civil War. The resolution was tabled by an overwhelming vote of 30-4.

"Our organization has been looking to create opportunities for Turks and Armenians to come together in a solutions-based dialogue that will lead to peace and reconciliation for the next hundred years," stated Derya Taskin, President of the Turkish Institute for Progress. "Resolutions like this one only serve to deepen the division that has existed for the past century and keep us from coming together to mourn all of the losses – Turks, Kurds, Arabs, and Armenians – that occurred during this tragic period in our histories."

"By rejecting this divisive and backward-looking measure, the South Dakota State Senate has sent a clear statement that they support real solutions that look toward the next century and work to unify our groups that share so much in common," Taskin continued. "We applaud the State Senate for this action and hope other groups will resolve to bring us together instead of further tear us apart."

The Turkish Institute for Progress was formed to provide a forum for dialogue in pursuit of peace, and cooperation between Turkey and the international community. By meeting on the common ground defined by shared regional political, economic, energy, transport, scientific, technical, and cultural issues, TIP pursues a constructive dialogue to ensure that international relationships with Turkey are marked by unity and the shared pursuit of common goals.
