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.
