Crimean Tatars against recognition of the Armenian Genocide by Ukraine
15:22 15.06.2013
The Armenian Genocide bill introduced in the Ukrainian Parliament has
irritated Mustafa Dzhemilev, Chairman of the Mejlis of the Crimean
Tatar People and a member of the Batkivshchyna Party.
`Even if the bill passes the Parliament, I don't believe the President
will have enough will to sign it,' Dzhemilev said, Yerkramas newspaper
of Armenians of Russia reports.
According to him, the preparation of the given document is an
inconsiderate and unsound step. `The number of Turkic nations in
Ukraine is much greater than that of Armenians. The authors of the
bill should be aware of the consequences it's adoption could lead to,'
the MP said, adding that Ukraine's relations with Azerbaijan, Turkey
and other Turkic nations could spoil.
Polemika.com.ua quotes Dzhemilev as saying that he will talk to Arsen
Avakov, one of the co-authors of the bill, who is a member of the
Batkivshchyna Party.
`I will tell him that this step is unacceptable. If the faction
supports the decision, I will withdraw from it. At the same time,
we'll tell other MPs that the step will be a blow to Ukraine's foreign
policy,' he said.
The MP added that should the Armenian Genocide bill be adopted, it
could lead to the mass protests of Turkic-speaking nations of Ukraine.
The bill on the Armenian Genocide of 1915-1922 perpetrated at the
hands of the Ottoman Empire was introduced in the Ukrainian Supreme
Rada. The document has been authored by member of the Batkivshchyna
Party Arsen Avakov, members of the Party of Regions Vilen Shatvoryan
and Never Mkhitaryan.
