EP DELEGATION: `WILL THE `GENOCIDE’ BE RECOGNIZED?’

Members of the European Parliament Human Rights Subcommittee led by
Helene Flautre yesterday paid a visit to the Turkish Parliament.
During the meeting, delegation members called on Ankara to recognize
the Armenian genocide claims and consider the issue of education in
Kurdish. Polish members of the delegation noted that Poland had to
acknowledge its part in the Jewish holocaust and asked when Turkey
would face up to its own history. Afterwards, Ozlem Cercioglu of the
Republican People’s Party (CHP) said, `There were losses on both
sides during the war. Although Turkey has opened up all of its
archives, Armenia still refuses to open theirs.’ /Cumhuriyet/
