C.H.P. Parliamentarian Unlutepe Protests Poland
ANKARA - Halil Unlutepe, a Republican People's Party (CHP) MP from
Afyonkarahisar, resigned from Turkey-Poland Interparliamentary
Friendship Group on Thursday.
Unlutepe said, ''Polish parliament recently adopted a resolution
which qualifies the incidents occurred in 1915 within the war
conditions, as 'Armenian genocide'. Polish parliament rejected
documents in Turkish archives regarding the issue and it considered
baseless allegations true. (This position) is against the
understanding of friendship.''
''Although Turkey expressed that it is ready to provide every
contribution to Poland to learn the realities about the issue,
Poland's adopting such a merciless decision is against the aims of
our friendship group,'' added Unlutepe.
He noted, ''decision of Polish parliament overshadowed activities
which have been pursued to establish a relation based on goodwill and
confidence between parliaments of the two countries.''
