The Speaker of Turkish Parliament, Koksal Toptan, said Sunday, in
regard to the incidents of 1915, that it was unfair to try to convict
Turkey without a trial and bring this country to the point of
apologizing.
Speaking to reporters prior to his departure from Ankara’s Esenboga
International Airport for Macedonia, Toptan said that he could not
understand Turkish citizens who initiated an "apology" campaign on the
incidents of 1915.
Those, who signed the apology declaration, issued such declaration in
the name of freedom of expression but they could not tolerate
criticisms against them, Toptan said.
I just can not understand such an attitude, Toptan said.
