ADAM SCHIFF: REAL ARMENIAN-TURKISH CONCILIATION WILL HAPPEN WHEN TURKEY RECOGNIZES GENOCIDE
NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY
SEPTEMBER 2, 2009
WASHINGTON
Adam Schiff, a Congressman from the Democratic Party, a member of
the Armenian Caucus greeted the agreement reached between Armenia and
Turkey meanwhile expressing serious concerns over some provisions of
the presigned protocols.
According to Radio Liberty, the pro-Armenian Congressman spread
a statement, in particular, expressing disappointment that the
"protocols call for creating a commission of historians to study the
events of 1915-23."
"It is an entirely discredited idea: there is no dispute between
scientists that a genocide was committed towards the Armenian people
in the days of Ottoman Empire's decline, and a commission of historians
is a regular attempt to veil the truth," Schiff's statement read.
"Turkey should not be permitted to proofread that tragic part of
its history for normal relations with Armenia," the pro-Armenian
Congressman mentioned. "A real conciliation between the Armenian
and Turkish peoples will happen when Turkey recognizes the genocide
committed by the Ottoman Empire against the Armenians in 1915-23."
