BLUNDER OF GENOCIDE

Sabah, Turkey

The national assembly makes Ataturk say the word ‘genocide’ in the
book it published.

Grand National Assembly of Turkey translated Ataturk’s speeches into
today’s Turkish language by simplification and reduction in 1987.

Ataturk’s words that "Armenian massacre did not happen" were included
in the book as "Armenian genocide did not happen".

Ataturk says ‘massacre’ the national assembly interprets as ‘genocide’

In 1987, the national assembly made a book of Ataturk’s speeches while
establishing the national assembly. The book simplifies Ataturk’s
speech and uses ‘genocide’ instead of ‘massacre’ by mistake.

Grand National Assembly of Turkey translated Ataturk’s speeches
into today’s Turkish language by simplification and reduction and
compiled them in a book. It has turned out that the word "massacre"
was translated as "genocide". While the preparations for issuing a
communiquagainst "Armenian Genocide" at the national assembly are
going on, the blunder came out during the examination of book. The
book was issued twice during the period when Necmettin Karaduman was
assigned as the parliament speaker in 1987.
