Speaking at his party's group meeting yesterday, main opposition
Republican People's Party (CHP) leader Deniz Baykal commented on the
Armenian bill passed last week by the French Parliament, saying that
no one had the right to say that Turkey had committed a genocide on
Armenians. Stressing that 17 countries had made this false allegation,
Baykal stated that 10 of these were European Union members. Commenting
on the recent dispute between Chief of General Staff Gen. Yasar
Buyukanit and opposition True Path Party (DYP) leader Mehmet Agar,
who suggested that terrorists should be encouraged to come down from
the mountains so they can take part in politics, Baykal criticized
Agar's suggestion. /Aksam/
