ANKARA (AA) - Allegations about so-called Armenian genocide were not
humanitarian, on the contrary, they were political, Vural Cengiz,
the chairman of the Assembly of Turkish-American Associations (ATAA),
said on Tuesday.
Holding a news conference after holding talks with the Turkish
government officials, Cengiz said, "we support the latest attitude of
the Turkish government against allegations about so-called genocide."
"Any attempt to open the border crossing between Turkey and Armenia
will not eliminate those allegations since the Armenian plan is
composed of four stages: terrorism, recognition, compensation and
claims for territory. Armenian diaspora describes Republic of Armenia
as eastern Armenia and eastern part of Turkey as western Armenia,"
he said.
Cengiz added that they were planning to hold demonstrations to express
their reaction against those allegations.
