    ANKARA SADDENED BY NSW RECOGNITION OF THE ASSYRIAN, ARMENIAN AND GREEK GENOCIDES

    14:28 08.05.2013

    The Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs has released a statement
    condemning the motion of the Legislative Council of the Parliament of
    the State of New South Wales in Australia, recognizing the Assyrian,
    Armenian and Greek Genocides.

    "We strongly condemn and reject this motion which is in no way
    compatible with historic facts. The fact that this motion has
    been passed through a fait accompli by a local politician, whose
    antagonism to Turkey in his attitude and behavior is well-known,
    shows how lightly and unsoundly such a sensitive issue is dealt with"
    the statement reads.

    "Although the solid friendly relations existing between the peoples of
    Turkey and Australia will not deteriorate because of this unilateral
    decision which is the fait accompli of a small group, its negative
    repercussions are nonetheless inevitable. In this context, the
    proponents of such initiatives aimed at dealing a blow to the very
    special relations that exist between our peoples will doubtlessly be
    deprived of the hospitality and friendship that we will never withhold
    from the people of Australia," Ministry said.

    "Necessary representations with Australian authorities have been made,
    stressing that our primary expectation from the Australian authorities
    for the sake of our relations that have developed so far on the basis
    of friendship, is that they be more attentive to unacceptable claims
    directed towards Turkey and the Turkish identity and that they take
    timely action against initiatives carrying anti-Turkish content and
    hate-speech," the statement concludes.
