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.
