    PRESIDENT GUL CRITISIZES OBAMA'S SPEECH ON INCIDENTS OF 1915


    SOFIA (A.A) - 25.04.2009 - President Abdullah Gul commented on
    U.S. President Barack Obama's statement on 1915 incidents, and said
    pain and suffering of all people who lost their lives in 1915 should
    be remembered.
    Gul told reporters in Sofia that he disagreed with parts of Obama's
    statement, noting that not only Armenians but hundreds of thousands of
    Turks and Muslims lost their lives during the incidents of 1915.

    He said statesmen and politicians could not pass judgement on events
    in the history, adding that it was time to look to the future and give
    a chance to diplomatic efforts for solution of issues in the region
    including issues between Turkey and Armenia, and Armenia and
    Azarbaijan.

    Gul said for the first time all related parties were exerting utmost
    efforts on the highest level to contribute to the solution of
    problems. He expressed his hope that all problems would be solved
    giving way to cooperation among all countries in the region. (OZG-BRC)
