ArmInfo. On the eve of the 107th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire, MP from the Turkish People's Democratic Party Garo Paylan submitted a draft law on the recognition of the Armenian Genocide to the Grand National Assembly.
According to the Turkish media, the bill contains a requirement to identify those responsible for this crime against humanity, it is proposed to remove the names of the perpetrators of the genocide from public places and instead write the names of civilians who opposed the genocide, as well as to grant Turkish citizenship to the descendants of the victims of the Genocide and their families.
"The genocide of the Armenian people must be discussed, recognized, and justice must be done in the Turkish parliament, in the country where it happened. If this happens, the leaders and parliaments of other countries will no longer be able to comment on this issue. Only Turkish society can heal the wounds of the Armenian people. "The Armenian Genocide was committed on these lands, and justice can only be established here, in Turkey," the bill says.
