    McCarthy: There was no Armenian cenocide
    25/03/2005 12:12:54

    Addressing the Parliament yesterday, visiting Professor Justin McCarthy
    from the University of Louisville said that there had been no genocide
    against the Armenians, adding that genocide claims were being used
    as a political weapon by certain circles.

    "Although these circles have political power, historical facts prove
    Turkey's case," he said, warning further that the European Union was
    trying to make recognition of the so-called genocide a precondition for
    Turkey's EU membership. Later, McCarthy addressed a conference entitled
    "The Reality of the so-called Armenian Genocide." Foreign Minister
    Abdullah Gul, opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) leader Deniz
    Baykal, and Parliament Speaker Bulent Arinc were all in attendance.
