Ankara Sends Letter to Yerevan

Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul said in the Turkish national
parliament Wednesday that Turkish prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan had
sent a letter to President Robert Kocharian containing a proposal to
set up a commission that would study the facts of extermination of
ethnic Armenians in 1915.

FM Gul also said Turkey was ready to hold talks with Armenia on the
personalities to work on the commission and the methodology of their
activity. Ankara believes this might help normalize relations between
the two neighboring countries.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
