ALGIERS - Turkish Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Abdullah
Gul has stated that Turkey's action plan against Armenian claims of
a so-called genocide will be discussed at the Turkish parliament on
Wednesday. Gul talked with Turkish journalists aboard the airplane
en route to Algeria.
"A discussion on Turkey's action plan will take place at the Turkish
parliament on Wednesday. I will make some explanations on the Armenian
claims," told Gul.
Gul stressed that Turkey fell behind on the topic of so-called Armenian
genocide. "Turkey could have been more active and brave in dealing
with this topic."
Gul noted that something which never occurred and has no truth has
become a tool of propaganda to win hearts in the West. "We must work
with full force to create extraordinary efforts to illuminate the
truth," commented Gul.
Asked if a United Nations committee could be formed to investigate
Armenian claims, Gul expressed that the UN is a political organ and
not one that deals with legal matters. "The UN may make mistakes in
voting. Individuals raising their hands to vote may vote wrongly
based political gains and interests History has many examples of
votings that proved to be fallacious." Minister Gul remarked that
there is a strong Armenian lobby in the U.S.. "Every year, around
this time, lobbies of the Armenians and Turks in the United States
work hard. There has never been a period when the Turks disregarded
Armenian attempts in the United States. We, as Turks, have an ethical
and moral obligation to inform the world about certain allegations."
According to Gul, enlightening U.S. congress members is a task that
should be done by all Turkish citizens and friends of Turks.
