WORLD MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AFFIRMS THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

The World Medical Association that has a membership of 85 countries
health care institutions put forward the candidature of Armenia as a
Country of the year.

In connection with it, the Association mentioned that a genocide was
committed against Armenians in 1914-1918; 1,5 mln Armenians were
killed, and the survivors of the genocide were spread all over the
world.

The Association also touched upon the Karabakh conflict informing
details of the movement and war.

are disappointed with similar attitude of the World Medical
Association and are going to demand the Association to remove the
information from the Internet.

"The position of the Association is anti-Turkish in general. In 2004
it stood up for Abdullah Ojalan as well", said one of the leaders of
Turkish Medical Association Dr. Ali Reza Ucher, adding that the
Turkish Ministry of Health should take measures against it "In case of
failure the Turkish Medical Association should renounce its membership
of the World Medical Association.
