Member of Turkish Nationalist Movement Party (NMP) Yusuf Halacoglu has
found it impossible to create a joint Turkish-Armenian commission of
inquiry into the events of 1915, a Turkish TV channel TRT Haber said
on Monday.
"Throughout history, great nations, especially France and Great
Britain, used Armenia for their own interests," Mr Halacoglu said.
A member of the French president's party, the Union for a Popular
Movement (UMP) which has the parliamentary majority, presented a
bill earlier this month aimed at introducing criminal punishment to
the legislative committee of the National Assembly for denial of the
so-called 'Armenian genocide'.
The bill which was signed by 40 members of the UMP party and the New
Centre party, provides up to one year's imprisonment and a fine of
45,000 euros for those who deny the so-called 'Armenian genocide'.
The Armenians and the Armenian lobby claim that the predecessor of
Turkey - Ottoman Empire has carried out 'genocide' against Armenians
living in Anatolia in 1915 and achieved recognition of these events
as genocide in the parliaments of several countries.
