    Baykal harshly criticized Switzerland

    Journal of Turkish Weekly
    May 4 2005

    Deniz Baykal, leader of the Turkish main opposition party CHP,
    harshly criticized the opening of a legal procedure against Turkish
    Institute of History (TTK) Chairman Prof. Dr. Yusuf Halacoglu because
    of his statement on the allegations of so-called Armenian genocide;
    initiatives in Belgium to sentence those who make similar statements
    up to one year in prison; and decisions taken in parliaments of
    several countries.

    Baykal said he was mostly offended by the decision made in Polish
    Parliament, stating that no problem whatsoever existed between Turkey
    and Poland in the past.

    More than 523,000 Muslims were killed by the armed Armenian militants
    in 1915. Many Armenian also died due to theethnic clashes, war
    curcumstances, epidemic and famine.
