Deniz Baykal "The protocols signed with Armenia must be withdrawn from
the Grand National Assembly of Turkey".

According to leader of the Turkish opposition of People’s Republic
Party Deniz Baykal, the decision by the Committee on international
relations of the US House of Representatives is based on the claims
to Turkey. Opposition considers that the nation must voice its protest
on this decision.

According to Baykal, there is nothing unusual between the decision
taken by the committee and publication of historical truth. The cause
of "urgency" of this issue throughout 100 years is not the
responsibility before the history, this is just a political concept.
This concept is connected with pressure on Turkey in the issue of
claims on recognition of "genocide", attempts to bind Turkey’s policy
with the claims for "genocide", according to Star TV.

"By signing these protocols with Armenia, the ruling party hoped for
softening of the US policy in the issue of recognition of ‘genocide’.
These hopes did not come true. The signing of these protocols has not
affect the thaw in the Armenian-Turkish relations, elimination of
disputes between Turkey and the United States about recognition of
‘genocide’ and peaceful development of the Armenian-Azerbaijani
relations".
