TURK PARLIAMENTARIAN VISITED ARMENIA ADDRESSES TWO DOZENS OF LETTERS OF
COMPLAINT AGAINST RA AUTHORITIES
ISTANBUL, JUNE 23, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. Vahid Erdem, a
representative of Turkey arrived in Yerevan in the staff of the NATO
Parliamentary Assembly's delegation the last week addressed letters
of complaint against the authorities of Armenia to representatives
of the European Union and other two dozens of ones. The Istanbul
"Marmara" daily informs about it. Erdem stated after returning from
Armenia that RA National Assembly Speaker Tigran Torosian "seriously
interfered in the Armenian Genocide issue," and then favoured him
with a tactless attitude, particularly, did not accept him to the
VIP hall of the airport, he had to take a taxi, etc. To recap, the
Parliament Speaker of Armenia disproved Vahid Erdem's accusations and
assured that no tactless step was taken against the latter, and he was
accompanied to the VIP hall with other NATO parliamentarians. To recap,
at the June 13 meeting with the NATO PA delegation, Tigran Torosian,
speaking about the regional report being prepared by the delegation,
mentioned a number of principles which needs improvement: it was
particularly mentioned in the report that "international co-thinkers"
of Armenia consider that a genocide took place, when it is proper to
mention EU member countries and the European Parliament which have
recognized the Genocide. In response, representative of Turkey Vahid
Erdem attempted to disprove the fact of genocide: according to his
insistence, neither an Armenian Genocide took place in 1915 nor there
was a state command to kill Armenians, and one may speak only about
400-500 thousand people who themselves attacked Turks by the Russians'
excitation. Tigran Torosian interrupted the Turk Deputy's "lecture
on history" and calling him to properness, considered incompatible
such a behaviour with the post occupied within the framework of the
international organization. Tirgran Torosian reminded Vahid Erdem
that he had no right to give estimations either to Genocide or to
European Parliament or to countries recognized the Genocide.
