    ATAA Chairman: Allegations About So-called Armenian Genocide Are Not Humanitarian, But Political

    Turkish Press
    June 1 2005

    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.
