ANKARA (A.A) -12.03.2007 -Chairman of the Turkish group at the NATO
Parliamentary Assembly Vahit Erdem denounced Monday an Armenian bill
submitted to the US House of Representatives, saying that it lacked
any legal and scientific base.
"Genocide allegations devised by the Armenian propaganda is being
used as a political leverage against Turkey," Erdem said in a written
statement.
"The draft bill submitted to the House of Representatives fails
to recount how the incidents of 1915 erupted or the killings of the
Muslim people at the hands of Armenian gangs," Erdem added, qualifying
the bill as one-sided.
Erdem also said that Turkey was exerting intense efforts to end what
he called "the wrong course of affairs."
"Republic of Turkey will never consent to this injustice," he said.
