ARINC CONDEMNS GERMAN PARLIAMENT'S DECISION
Parliament Speaker Bulent Arinc yesterday sent a letter to his German
counterpart Wolfgang Thierse condemning the approval of an Armenian
resolution last week in the German Federal Parliament. Stressing that
the decision had caused anger among Turkish parliamentarians, Arinc
said that both government officials and parliamentarians visiting
Germany over the last three months had expressed Turkish views on the
matter and warned of possible anger among Turks if such a decision
was made. This one-sided decision made by a friendly allied country
deeply wounded some 3 million Turks living in Germany, said Arinc.
