    Turkish MP: `Turkey-related statement made by Raffi Hovannisian at the
    Baku conference is another slander'

    [ 23 November 2012 12:34 ]


    Baku. Parvin Abbasov - APA. `It is not right to call the events of
    1915 `genocide'.

    Baku. Parvin Abbasov - APA. `It is not right to call the events of
    1915 `genocide'. The claims of Armenian genocide in Turkey are
    distortion of history and truth,' Turkish parliamentarian from the
    ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) Ercan Candan said at the
    7th General Assembly of the International Conference of Asian
    Political Parties (ICAPP) in Baku while commenting on the statement of
    Raffi Hovannisian, leader of Heritage Party of Armenia, APA reports.

    Turkish MP mentioned that his country faced occupation by four
    European states early in the past century.

    `Though Armenians and Turks had coexisted in Turkey by that time,
    later they took advantage of the situation and went for separatism. At
    that time we defeated the occupants. But we did not expel Armenians
    from Turkey, they left Turkey of their own accord. Your president says
    `We have liberated Karabakh, now it is time for Ararat'. Your
    president says this addressing the youth. Let's see who tells the
    truth, who lies, who supports the truth, who supports the lie. The
    statement made by Armenian representative here is groundless and
    another slander against Turkey,' he said.
