    TURKEY MUST COMBAT "FALSE" ARMENIAN GENOCIDE CLAIMS - SEMINAR


    Ankara: The final communique of the seminar entitled "The Armenian
    Issue with All Its Aspects and the Historic Facts" has said: "The
    struggle against the false Armenian genocide claims should be waged
    within the framework of a long-term perspective and should continue
    until results are achieved. It is necessary to ensure that the
    Republic of Turkey's reputation throughout the world is not
    besmirched."

    The seminar entitled "The Armenian Issue With All Its Aspects and the
    Historic Facts" that was held by the National Security Strategies
    Studies Centre that operates under the Turkish Metalworkers' Union at
    the union headquarters ended with the reading of the final
    communique. The final communique pointed out that the struggle
    against the false Armenian genocide claims should be planned from a
    single centre and should be waged in the national and international
    dimensions. Furthermore, the communique drew attention to the
    importance of using the institutions that were established for this
    purpose efficiently and productively.

    Also stressing that it is necessary to use the pro-Turkey lobbies in
    the activities that will be conducted in the international arena, the
    communique emphasized that it is very important for the Turks abroad
    to start lobby activities as soon as possible. The communique
    continued as follows:

    "If these steps fail to achieve results, it is necessary to make use
    of bilateral or multilateral relations against state/states,
    individual/individuals, and institution/institutions that support the
    false genocide claims. To this end, it is necessary to place
    balanced, adequate, and effective political and economic sanctions at
    the right time.

    "If these measures are taken and if Turkey pursues a determined and
    an effective policy regarding the Armenian claims and slanders,
    Armenian racists will not be able to dare defying Turkey. Neither
    will Western countries dare confronting Turkey with regard to false
    Armenian claims. It is necessary to keep in mind that it is the
    Republic of Turkey that is wronged with the slanders and therefore
    those who govern this country should pursue an effective policy with
    regard to this issue. Turkey should demand explanations for the fact
    that it is wronged."
