    A Turkish scholar, who is also the chairman of the Association to
    Fight Against Baseless Genocide Allegations, said Monday that
    Armenian lawmakers were living in a world of dreams, while commenting
    on demands of the Armenian parliament.

    "Armenian parliament once again stated expressly that they will not
    give up emity," said Savas Egilmez, a professor at Ataturk
    University, in eastern province of Erzurum.

    In a special session on December 19 and 20, Armenian Parliament asked
    Turkey to annul article 301th of Turkish Penal Code and re-draw the
    border between the two countries according to (the null and void)
    Treaty of Sevres, Egilmez recalled.

    "They prepared a bill of 14.5 billion USD regarding the incidents of
    1915," Egilmez recalled. "They are living in a world of dreams," he
    said.

    Egilmez said Turkish people expect an apology from Armenia for
    massacres committed by Armenian gangs during the WWI.

    "In order to establish political and economic relations with this
    country, Turkish people expect Armenia to apologize for massacres,
    demolish the so-called genocide monument and remove several articles
    and allegations (that are against Turkey) from their constitution ,"
    he added.
