    Genocide conference to be attacked


    Turkish nationalists are going to attack participants of the Armenian
    Genocide conference; first Genocide conference in Turkey not
    organized by the Turkish government.

    (I-Newswire) - On 23 September, 2005, Turkish nationalists are going
    to attack participants of the Armenian Genocide conference; first
    Genocide conference in Turkey not organized by the Turkish
    government.

    As the Turkish media report, members of Turkish Retired Officers
    Association are going to attack the Conference on Armenian Genocide
    organized by Turkish academicians who do not share Turkish
    government's denialist approach against the Armenian massacres. A
    Turkish news website, http://www.yenisafak.com.tr/g02.html, has
    posted the `plan of attack,' which informs that protesters are to
    gather at 7:45pm in the Uskudar district, take the ferryboat over to
    Dolmabahce Palace and Taksim Square, and proceed to Bosporus
    University in Istanbul.

    In the meanwhile, other Turkish news agencies, such as
    http://www.turkishweekly.net/, have published various anti-Armenian
    articles on 22 September 2005, just a day before the Conference
    starts.

    The Conference, organized by the Bosporus University and attended by
    Turkish academicians and scholars throughout the world, was postponed
    early this year due to threats from Turkish nationalists and
    officials.

    The Armenian Genocide was organized and carried out by the Turkish
    government during 1915 and 1923. The Genocide resulted in the
    complete annihilation of western Armenians in their historic
    motherland. Turkish government and its agents spend millions of
    dollars each year to deny the Armenian Genocide. Recognition of this
    Genocide in Turkey is a legalized crime.

    Genocide.com regrets the plan of this sinister attack and hopes that
    the academicians won't be harmed.
