Turks won the Genocide Case Against Armenians in the US
Saturday, 25 July 2009
Turkish associations to which, Turkish President Abdullah G?Ã?¼l gave
responsibility in order to increase the trade volume, succeeded to
protect Turkey's 2 Billion $ worth export to California. Paul
Krekorian, Member of the California State Assembly, introduced a bill
which based on the Armenian claims, to the State Assembly in order to
block the trading between Turkish companies and California companies.
First Turkish associations succeed on Assignment Committee to hold the
bill and they also prevented the discussion of bill in the General
Assembly. Finally they applied to the court in order to abolish the
bill on grounds of contradiction to constitution and they won the
case.
Paul Krekorian tried to convince the Assembly that the bill was
intended to prevent California from doing business with companies that
"do business with genocidal regimes." But, Turkish American Legal
Defense Fund (TALDF) which takes support from associations like
Assembly of Turkish American Associations (ATAA), Turkish-American
Business Association (TABA) won the case against the Armenian
claims. As a result of that Assembly Bill (AB) 961 has been
effectively held in the CA Assembly Appropriations Committee by
Chairman Kevin De Leon.
U?Ã??Å?¸ur Terzioglu, Board Chairman of TABA said "California
constitutes nearly %30 percent of whole Turkish- American trade
volume. Judge decided that no one can intervene trading issues like
that. We want peace between Turkey and Armenia."
After the judgment Turkish companies which export goods to California
are relieved.
