    Aram I urges Erdogan to recognize genocide

    October 01, 2011 02:14 AM The Daily Star


    BEIRUT: The Armenian Catholicos of Cilicia, Aram I Keshishian, has
    urged Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan to recognize the
    Armenian genocide of 1915 and `fully' return all properties seized
    from religious minorities since that time.

    The Catholicosate of Cilicia released the letter Friday, which was
    issued after Ankara in August announced a new policy toward religious
    minorities in Turkey, which addressed property seized since 1936.

    Addressing Erdogan, Aram I said that the recent decision by the
    Turkish government to return properties confiscated from religious
    minorities by the Turkish state was partial and does not to justice to
    their rights.

    `The current decree of your government may comply with EU standards,
    but is not an act of justice,' said Aram I. `Mr. prime minister,
    selective acts of justice deny history and negate democratic values
    and principles.'
