MELBOURNE (AA) – Parliament Speaker Bulent Arinc asked the Turks
living in Australia to adapt to the society where they were living.
Arinc who came to Australia upon the common invitation of
Australian parliament and senate speakers on Saturday, met with the
representatives of Turkish community.

EU after eight-ten years.
Regarding the Armenian genocide claims, Arinc said that no such
crime was committed. Arinc stressed that he cancelled his visit to
Poland and postponed his visit to Russia as the two countries’
parliaments adopted decisions supporting Armenian claims.

in Australia to fully integrate with the Australian society and to
learn its language, laws, and traditions to this end.
