    Turkish MP again condemned for calling Turkish leader's mother Armenian


    January 29, 2011 | 14:34

    MP from Turkish oppositional Republican People's Party Canan Aritman
    once again was condemned for saying Turkish president Gul's mother is
    Armenian by origin.

    According to her, Abdullah Gul's relative told the assistant of his
    college Ahmet Sataoglu that president's mother is of Armenian descent.
    Sataoglu filed a lawsuit against Canan Aritman demanding
    compensation, Turkey-based Hurriyet newspaper reported.

    The Ankara's court did not satisfy the lawsuit unlike Court of
    Cassation which decision said Aritman's words are false and are
    offending human dignity of president. The Turkish MP was fined and
    had to pay 2,000 lire compensation.

    Earlier president Gul had lodged a lawsuit against Aritman for similar
    statement and won the case.
