May 4 2005

Deniz Baykal, leader of the Turkish main opposition party CHP,
harshly criticized the opening of a legal procedure against Turkish
Institute of History (TTK) Chairman Prof. Dr. Yusuf Halacoglu because
of his statement on the allegations of so-called Armenian genocide;
initiatives in Belgium to sentence those who make similar statements
up to one year in prison; and decisions taken in parliaments of
several countries.

Baykal said he was mostly offended by the decision made in Polish
Parliament, stating that no problem whatsoever existed between Turkey
and Poland in the past.

More than 523,000 Muslims were killed by the armed Armenian militants
in 1915. Many Armenian also died due to theethnic clashes, war
curcumstances, epidemic and famine.
