TURKEY: EU'S ARMENIA GENOCIDE RESOLUTION IS NULL AND VOID
North Africa Post
April 17 2015
Three political parties namely the ruling Justice and Development
Party (AK Party), the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP)
and the opposition Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) have signed a
joint declaration stating that the resolution voted by the European
parliament for Turkey to recognize that it committed genocide on the
Armenians as an "inappropriate and unacceptable" decision that is
"null and void." The vote which took place on Wednesday could be an
obstacle to Turkey's effort to join the European Union.
Armenians were killed during the last years of the Ottoman Empire
and the EU wants Ankara to admit that it was "genocide."
The statement lamented that European Union disregarded Turkey's
point of view for "dialogue" over the matter rather than a "biased
approach." It added that Armenians refrain from discussing the issue
impartially and scientifically. The signatories to the statement
alleged that the European Union is an institution with its main
objective "contrary to the idea of creating peace and tolerance and
a common future instead of war and clash."
European Parliament President Martin Schulz told Turkish Prime Minister
Ahmet Davutoglu on Thursday that he "understands" Ankara's reaction
to a vote calling the 1915 mass killing of Armenians a genocide,
sources in the prime minister's office said.
CHP leader Kemal Kılıcdaroglu told reporters after a meeting with
European Union member countries' ambassadors that all the political
parties "share the same views" and a joint declaration will be
released. During the meeting, Kılıcdaroglu said the European
countries were reminded that they "have great knowledge of the
universal law and acknowledge the description of 'genocide'" and
"how severe the repercussions of the EU's description of [the 1915
events as] 'genocide' would be."
