ISTANBUL – A denouncement has been filed against several Armenian
scholars who organized a conference on the so-called Armenian genocide
and used Ataturk’s picture on a poster at the University of California,
Los Angeles (UCLA).
The denouncement was filed at the Uskudar Republican Prosecutor’s
Office and had the signatures of Dr. Ibrahim Oztek, Dr. Zihni Papakci
and owner of Iktidar Magazine Metin Hacimustafaoglu.
A conference on the so-called Armenian genocide was organized at
UCLA which was attended by Armenian scholars Vahram Shemmassian,
Ardashes Kassakhian and Levon Marashlian last April. The conference
posters had Ataturk’s picture in front of puppies.
Dr. Oztek stressed that Turks and the founder of Turkey Ataturk were
insulted by the posters and conference organized at UCLA. “We will
sue those responsible for the insult against the Turks,” noted Oztek.
