  • Turk Republican Party Wants Armenian Cause Removed from Parl. Agenda

    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.
