COJEP Award 2015
Each year, the Cojep, an organization formed by some Alsace-based Turks, distributes a number of awards. In January 2015, the awards were distributed as follows:
The organization, which is close to Erdogan‘s AKP, does not hesitate to protest whenever certain personalities of Turkish origin support Taksim protesters:
“This attitude offends most Turkish associations in the city, which overwhelmingly support AKP and Recep Erdogan, and represent a significant part of Strasbourg voters” (Press release dated 5 June 2013)
The organization is also unhappy when politicians insist on acknowledging the Armenian genocide. And therefore rants about it: “The Socialist Party is very much influenced by the speech of the Armenian diaspora in our country.”
