According to Bianet.org, Turkey's Peace and Democracy Party MP Ertugrul
Kurkcu stated during a speech at the Parliamentary Assembly of the
Council of Europe yesterday that his colleagues were determined to
expose the historical realities pertaining to the Armenian Genocide
of 1915 and make them public knowledge.
Stating that Armenian subjects of the OttomanEmpire were forcibly
deported to the deserts of Syria under the fabricated pretext of
counter-insurgency measures and WW I necessities, Kurkcu continued
as follows:
"The defenseless convoys of women, children and elderly ended up
nowhere, hundreds of thousands of innocent people were annihilated,
finally depriving Eastern Anatolia from one of its indigenous peoples,
leading to the devastation of dozens of cities and towns which lost
their essential human resources, productive powers..."
He then added, ""I would like to express our condolences in the name
of our group to the grandsons and granddaughters of the victims of
the Metz Yegern, the Great Crime, as the Armenian people name this
heinous crime against humanity."
