    DOKURCUM MILL, SILENT WITNESS OF MASSACRE

    Turkish Press
    Oct 25 2006

    GAZIANTEP - "Dokurcum mill in (southeastern city of) Gaziantep where
    14 Turkish youths were shot to death by French soldiers should be
    restored," Tourism Association Chairman Bekir Sitki Severoglu said.

    Speaking to the A.A correspondent, Severoglu stated, "French soldiers
    committed massacres in Gaziantep (in 1920). All countries should be
    informed on this matter."

    Severoglu noted, "I took several initiatives to condemn France,
    but I did not receive any positive answer on the matter."

    He indicated that "Dokurcum Mill Monument" should be erected against
    the French draft law criminalizing denial of so-called Armenian
    genocide.

    A group of French soldiers executed 14 Turkish youths by shooting in
    front of Dokurcum Mill on March 28th, 1920 (during Gaziantep Defence
    in Turkish National Independence War).
