  1. Turkey’s “zero problems with neighbors” policy means eliminating or silencing those that cause problems to Turkey.  One cant take Turk’s word at the face value.  It would be very naive to trust in the honesty of Turks.  Turks will never change their hypocritical and treacherous nature.   Unfortunately, Arabs are naively falling into cheap PR game Turks play with Israel.

  2. No doubt, this is a sad story but why did you choose Jordan, a typical third world islamic despotic state? Our homeland Armenia is in dire need of hard currency and Yerevan or even Stepanakert could have been much better options for an Armenian youth forum. 

  3. I highly doubt that cancelling the Forum is related to the Turkish-Jordanian relationship or even Turkish-Israeli conflict. The reason is somewhere else…..Ms Suciyan should have done  much deeper research.

  4. Shame on the Government of  Jordan to refuse the Armenian Youth to meet in Amman.  When will Jordan and the world Nations wake up to what the Turk has done to civilization and all the destruction, massacre after massacre, the worlds worst human rights violations as recorded by Amnesty International, Genocide of Armenians, Greeks, Assyrians, Kurds, and many other ethnic nationalities.  The world has no consciousnes left to help what the Turks have since 1064 A.D.

  5. The article is illuminating, but why is an Armenian Youth event being held in Jordan instead of Yerevan? 

  6. I agree with phantom. May be the Armenians of the Middla East should try to focus on our Homeland, Armenia, where no one will ban an Armenian Youth Event?

  7. If this is true it goes to show the stupidity and the ineffective nature of the Arab countries. They too were slaves of the Ottomans for hundreds of years but have no problems still kissing their ass. Also it shows the stupidity of the Armenians for organizing this in Jordan?????????? How about the US or Armenia instead next time?

  8. I tend to agree with George , definitely Ms. Suciyan should have done some more research before jumping to such conlcusions. As for confused , it is obvious that you know very little about Jordan and you are indeed confused.

  9. George, maybe you can do a bit more research and enlighten us – I think canceling a meeting one night before is VERY POLITICALLY inclined. Thanks Talin for bringing it up. I am so disappointed that the country where I was born has such hateful attitude towards armenians… these middle eastern countries have forgotten their oppressed situation under the Ottoman rule – but the Armenians have not!

  10. Dear Raffi,
    You got me wrong. The cancellation is definitely politically inclined but I highly doubt it is linked to Turkey. We have reached to a time where anybody with internet connection can write and analyze anything.
    I invite Ms Talin if she is a journalist or researcher to do a further research and if she has no access to Jordan news, she might try the web…..

  11. Jordan will not allow any kind of political discourse in its country.(you only have to see what they did to the Palestinian identity, and how they treat the Palestinians on hte borders) Its daddy israel will now allow it , and its grand-daddy USA will not either.

  12. Perhaps Ms. Suciyan, a more astute observer of Turkish policy than anyone posting comments here,  could have afforded to do more research- but there’s something about conjuncture here worth considering. And yes, perhaps Armenia would have been a more appropriate location for this forum. That being said, let’s not pretend that the Armenian authorities are somehow beyond banning gatherings for no reason whatsoever.
