/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Members of the European Parliament Human Rights
Subcommittee led by Helene Flautre last week paid a visit to the
Turkish Parliament. During the meeting, delegation members urged
Ankara to recognize the Armenian Genocide 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 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,” Cercioglu added, reported
the Yerkir.
