Sabah, Turkey
Aug 6 2006

The report of European Parliament which requires Turkey to recognize
the so-called Armenian genocide as well as Pontus and Syrian
genocides was even reacted by European Union circles: "Let’s not
offend Turkey. We are being ridiculous. This report has no balance."

This report has no balance

Even EU circles have reacted against the Turkey report of EP which
says: Turkey must recognize Pontus and Syrian genocides too." EU
circles said: "We are making a fool of ourselves. This has no
plausibility."

The Turkey report which was prepared by Camuel Eurlings asks
Turkey to recognize Armenian genocide as well as Syrian and Pontus
genocides. With this report, Pontus and Syrian genocides have entered
in an official EU report for the first time. Stating that he is
not happy with the report of Eurlings, Mixed Parliament Commission
Co-chairman Joost Lagendijk said: "Instead of encouraging Turkey’s
membership, Eurlings has put more provisions. Turkey will think that
the European Parliament will keep demanding new provisions every
year. The report confused me, it does not have a balance."
