Delivering a report on endangered languages during a meeting of PACE
committee on culture, science and education, Turkish parliamentarian
Ertugul Komsuoglu did not mentioned the Western Armenian language.

"I reminded that the Armenian Genocide at the hands of the
Ottoman Empire was the reason that put the language of the verge of
disappearance," member of the Armenian delegation Zaruhi Postanjyan
said. "The Turkish deputy’s reaction was fierce and discussion was
postponed for further consideration."

During her visit to Istanbul, Mrs. Postanjyan attended the
Constantinople Patriarchate of the Armenian Apostolic Church and
met with representatives of the Armenian community to discuss urgent
problems.
