"Armenian Journalist Dink: Europe Abused Armenians and Still Abuse Them
(FRANKFURT) Hrant Dink, editor of Agos, Armenian weekly said �Europe had a crucial role in the 1915 tragedies and abused the Armenian issue�. Dink further added that �Europe still uses the Armenians�.

Armenian journalist Hrant Dink argued the European politicians use Armenians for their political interests. Dink gave a speech in Frankfurt, Germany and accused the European politicians.

Dink also accused the German CDU�s Angela Merkel:
�I like to ask my friends in Armenian Diaspora. �Do you think Merkel loves you very much? Or, the reason is the Diaspora�s pressures? Neither love, nor the pressure. Merkel�s problem is different. Merkel tries to prevent Turkey�s EU membership.�

Dink claimed the Armenian tragedies are still being used by the European politicians.
