protest against the Armenian Genocide

The Labor Party of Turkey and a number of other Turkish organizations
have held an action of protest in front of the building of the
Consulate General of France in Istanbul with slogans "The Armenian
Genocide is an Imperialistic Lie!" and "No to French Products!"
reports Trend news agency.
The secretary general of the LPT Dogu Perincek said that "the so-called
Armenian Genocide is a fable invented by the imperialist forces,
who are trying to use it in their occupant plans."
He said that on Nov 21 the leadership of the party is going to hold a
mass action of protest in Paris in order to urge France "not to become
a puppet in the US’ Middle East plans." Perincek urged the leaders of
all political parties of Turkey to take part in it and also to hold
a joint press conference in Paris on Nov 21. Perincek said that the
fact that Orhan Pamuk was awarded Nobel Prize shows that Turkey is on
the threshold of dangerous events. "The Nobel Prize was a reward to
Pamuk for betrayal of Turkey’s national interests," said Perincek. He
urged the ralliers to continue their action "until France revokes
the bill criminalizing the denial of the Armenian Genocide."
As REGNUM reported earlier, the Labor Party of Turkey is known for
its ultra-nationalist and Kemalist position. In the Turkish Diaspora
it closely cooperates with the Nationalist Movement Party against the
international recognition of the Armenian Genocide, the Cyprian issue.
