Washington. Isabel Levine - APA. A Massachusetts Federal Appeals
Court has ruled out on August 12 that Massachusetts public schools
directions for teaching modern history can exclude views that question
the events of 1915 that Armenians call genocide.
APA's Washington DC correspondent has learnt from the 1st U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals that it decided that the state did not violate the
rights on free speech in 1999 by excluding sources that questioned
the 1915 events.
A number of Armenians and Turkish Diaspora representatives gathered
near the court building waiting for the decision.
Jevdet Yiloglu, a representative of Turkish Diaspora told APA's
correspondent, that the Diaspora met this news with disappointment,
but: "We don't give up; we will go further in defeating our beliefs.
The world must know about Armenian lies".
The Turkish Diaspora told APA, that they are going to file another
appeal.
The Armenian Diaspora on the contrary welcomed the decision.
Turkish Diaspora organizations filed the suit in 2005 as a First
Amendment case to thwart the teaching of the 1915 events as genocide
in public schools by insisting on the inclusion of denialist literature
in the commonwealth's mandated curriculum.
