There is a panic and a chaotic situation in Turkey. The criticism addressed to Ankara in the framework of the commemorations of the Centennial of the Armenian Genocide, especially the use of the word Genocide banned in Turkey and used by several world leaders, have brought Turkey to such despair, that the latter hysterically hurls accusations right and left, making it impossible for the country to differentiate between wet and dry, insiders and outsiders.

Erdogan, accusing the world leaders, make an impression, as if he has not noticed Prince Charles, the only, we can say, European high-level guest, who had decided to take part in Galipolli suspicious events for enhancing the ties between Turkey and his country. In the moment of anger, Erdogan "remembered" France and Russia, the leaders of which countries were in Yerevan on April 24, Great Britain and the United States, the leaders of which countries were very cautious during the whole period of commemoration of the Armenian Genocide not to make Turkey angry.

Such world reputation as the Pope, who is formally the head of the Catholic Church, informally the leader of all Christians, was also criticized. Erdogan dares to say that "he condemns pope and warns not to repeat that mistake."

In the background of all this Turkey's Prime Minister dared to blame Europe for racism. It is interesting, whether Turkey's leaders do not understand that with their harsh statements they are revealing their real face, showing that being so close to Europe they are still far away from it in terms of civilization. And perhaps with such statements Turkish leaders move their country several steps away from the EU, to which they so enthusiastically want to join and send an important message to the world leaders, who until now carefully avoided using the word Genocide. Among them are the leaders of the US, Britain, who, it seems, have no more reason to avoid using the word Genocide.
