NEW YORK, APRIL 29, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. The action of
protest organized by American-based Turks in New York failed because
of indifference shown by the local Turks to the action.
As Turkish press reported, several dozens of Turks participated in the
action organized under the aegis of the Federation of Turkish-American
Unions, on the initiative of the Young Turks Union in Times Square
under the title Struggle Against Lies of Armenian Genocide. The total
number of action participants did not exceed 100.
Abdullah Bezirgan, the Chairman of the Young Turks Union, explained
their failure by the lack of the Armenian bill on their agenda. "We
exerted every effort. However, there was no Armenian bill on the
agenda this year, therefore the Turks passively participated in the
action. I supposed it would be just this way," Bezirgan stated.
