TURKEY MAY RESORT TO INTERNATIONAL LAW TO END FOREIGN SUPPORT OF ARMENIAN CLAIMS

Anadolu Agency, Turkey
March 24 2010

Ankara, 24 March: A Turkish Foreign Ministry spokesman on Wednesday
said Turkey considered resorting to international law as an option in
its efforts to head off foreign parliaments from affirming Armenian
allegations on the incidents of 1915 in the Ottoman Empire.

"We are evaluating all options and appealing to international law
is one of them," Burak Ozugergin told reporters at a weekly press
briefing when responding to a question.

Swedish parliament approved earlier this month a resolution that
confirmed Armenian allegations just a week after a US House foreign
affairs panel adopted a similar resolution.

Ozugergin said such resolutions "did harm" to Turkey’s relations with
countries which approved them as well as with Armenia.
