CHP QUIZZES GUL OVER AIRLINE GENOCIDE PROPAGANDA

The New Anatolian, Turkey
Feb 27 2007

A main opposition deputy yesterday questioned Foreign Minister Abdullah
Gul over the ministry’s efforts to forestall Armenian "genocide"
propaganda, particularly that distributed on German airline Lufthansa.

Gul who returned to the country on a Lufthansa aircraft after a U.S.
visit this month faced complaints from passengers due to the company
distributing an issue of Time magazine with a supplement and CD about
the so-called genocide claims.

Carrying the issue to Parliament with a question motion, main
opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) Aydin Deputy Ozlem Cercioglu
asked Gul what he had done regarding the complaints.

Cercioglu, who said that the Armenian diaspora in the U.S. has come to
use airliners to spread its anti-Turkey and pro-genocide propaganda,
asked Gul whether it is possible to contact U.S. officials who allowed
the distribution of pro-genocide material on the U.S.-Turkey planes,
in order to dissuade them.

"Have you communicated Turkey’s concerns over the incident to the
related authorities?" she asked.
