VAN - Federation of Associations of Victims who suffered from massacre
of Armenian gangs (in eastern cities of Van, Igdir, Bitlis, Mus and
Agri) sent letters to embassies in Turkey, on Tuesday.
Federation Chairman Ikram Kali said in a written statement, "Armenian
committees which organized Armenian gangs and pursued activities
against Ottoman Empire were closed down and 2345 administrators of
those committees were arrested on April 24, 1915."
"However European and U.S. parliaments, as well as various groups,
are still trying to bring Armenian genocide allegations onto the
international agenda. Thus, we have sent letters to embassies in
Turkey to be conveyed to their leaders," added Kali.
Referring to the letter, Kali said, "every year, within the framework
of planned provocations, forging accusations towards Turkey have
become a tradition. Fundamentalist terrorist groups destroyed
lands of an empire which settled peace in these lands throughout 600
years. As these groups cooperated with external forces in war milieu,
authorized organs of state removed these groups from war area as a
security measure. Settlements in 1918 and diplomatic records about
Armenian population in Turkey exist in foreign ministry and military
archives of Turkey and in various other countries. Unfortunately
however, parliaments of several countries, by violating all democratic
principles, launch initiatives to adopt resolutions on the so-called
Armenian genocide."
Kali said that they wanted the whole world to act with common sense
to settle world peace and not to live past sufferings again.
