/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Yesterday the Armenian community held a protest
action against Turkish Ambassador to Argentina and Uruguay Surku
Tufan, who initiated a meeting with the commission for foreign issues
to discuss the Armenian Genocide. The diplomat presented the
Uruguayan parliamentarians Turkey’s proposal on formation of
Armenian-Turkish joint commission for the investigation of the fact
of Genocide. Members of the Uruguayan parliament Lilian Kechijian and
Jeime Trobo stated it’s for the first time when a Turkish diplomat
initiated such kind of meeting. However, the position of the Armenian
people is unchangeable: the issue of the genocide of not a topic for
discussion, since it is a proven fact and there is no need in forming
any commission, Yerkir Online reports.
