Armenian Genocide
ARENC CONDEMNS 16 COUNTRIES IN HIS LETTER
Byulent Arenc, chairman of Turkish Parliament, applied with a letter to the
presidents of 16 countries, namely Switzerland, Poland, Slovakia, Lebanon,
Canada, Argentina, Germany, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Italy, Greece,
Uruguay, Sweden, Russia and Venezuela, condemning them for their decisions
to recognize the Armenian Genocide.
He emphasized the disappointment the Turkish people experienced after such
decisions and reminded that Turkish Prime Minister suggested to create a
committee consisting of Armenian and Turkish historians in order to
investigate the events of 1915.
Arenc seems to be concerned about how to deprive the European countries of
the opportunity to use the issue of the Armenian Genocide as a pre-condition
against Turkey during the coming negotiations.
