By Rufiz Hafizoglu - Trend:
Turkey did its best to investigate the events of 1915, Chairman of the
Grand National Assembly (Parliament) of Turkey Cemil Cicek said Sept.
27, the Turkish news agency Anadolu reported.
He said that Ankara opened its archives to the world community to
investigate the events of 1915.
"Despite this, the parliaments of several countries considered the
events of 1915 as the so-called "Armenian genocide"," he said.
"The parliaments must not investigate historical events," he said.
"Their task is to promote the development of relations between the two
countries."
"If anyone wants to re-investigate the events of 1915, Ankara is ready
to establish a joint commission and to render necessary assistance in
this regard," he said.
Cicek said earlier that the so-called Armenian genocide is the
greatest slander in history.
"There was no Armenian genocide and this is a slander against the
history of Turkey," Cicek said.
Armenia and the Armenian lobby claim that Turkey's predecessor - the
Ottoman Empire allegedly carried out "genocide" against the Armenians
living in Anatolia in 1915.
The Armenians, increasing their propaganda of the so-called genocide
in the world, have achieved its recognition by parliaments of some
countries.
