/PanARMENIAN.Net/ First Vice-President of the NATO Parliamentary
Assembly (PA), Chairman of NATO Group of the Grand National Assembly
of Turkey, MP representing Justice and Development ruling party Vahid
Erdem has send a second letter to the Assembly, complaining of Armenian
NA Speaker Tirgran Torosyan.

As Tirgran Torosyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, he did not receive
the second complaint. "I consider the accusations of the Turkish
deputy unfounded. Turks complain of Armenians, Azeri media reprint it,
everyone is content. I can reaffirm that I did not say that V. Erdem
does not have the right to speak as a Turkish MP. I only underscored
that the NATO floor should not be used for propaganda," Torosyan said.

We noted that in mid-June a 20-member NATO PA delegation, led by
V. Erdem, was in Yerevan on a visit. At a meeting at the Parliament
of Armenia Erdem denied statements on the Armenian Genocide.
