Peace and Democracy Party Group Vice Chairperson Ä°dris Baluken
submitted a proposal to the parliament to launch an investigation on
1915 Armenian Genocide and open the archives in order to "find out the
truth and emphasize on sufferings".
Reminding that there are ongoing discussions on what happened during
the relocation of Armenians and the atrocity allegations, and that
several countries recognized the act of killings as genocide, the
proposal continued: "Unless the measures are taken towards facing and
researching the truth, this type of suffering will always be used."
The proposal underlined that facing the history and revealing the
truth will help improve for a better living in the future.
Some of the highlight from the proposal included:
"The political stalemate that the Republic of Turkey is experiencing
on the matter will be resolved only by facing its consequences.
Departing from this, a thorough parliamentary investigation is
required in order to find out the truth behind 1915 incidents.
"We are proposing to open a parliamentary investigation aimed to open
archives, analyze the related political decisions, shed light on the
truth that remained in collective memory and analyze international
documents in order find out the truth, emphasize on sufferings and
face the truth." (ÇT/BM)
