LEADER OF NATIONAL REPUBLICAN PARTY OF TURKEY TO COUNTERACT TO REMOVE
ARMENIAN CAUSE FROM TURKEY'S AGENDA
YEREVAN, MARCH 2. ARMINFO. The leader of the National Republican Party
of Turkey Deniz Baikal is going to counteract on parliamentary level
"to have removed the Armenian cause from Turkey's agenda," reports
Radical newspaper (Turkey).
Baikal says that Turkey should no longer be defensive in the issue. He
proposes changing the tactics and starting openly discussing the
problem in its full spectrum. "Let's everybody say what they know and
stop their grudges," says Baikal.
The counter-measures will start from the parliament where MP Sukur
Elekdar is going to propose officially demanding that the UK
parliament qualify as militarist propaganda the "Treatment of
Armenians in Ottoman Empire", a so-called Blue Book published by
Wellington House in 1916 and approved by the British MPs
Elekdar is also suggesting setting up an Armenian-Turkish historical
commissions for examining archives not only in Armenia and Turkey but
also in the US, UK, Russia, Germany and France and presenting its
findings to international organizations like UNESCO.
Radical assumes that NPP's initiative is aimed to calm down the ruling
Turkish party "Justice and Prosperity" and to create large area for
maneuvering. Possibly such initiatives will free Turkey-Armenia
relations of the Genocide shadow, says Radical.
