municipalities, which recognized the actions of 1915 as Armenian
Genocide. Turkish Ministry of Interior wrote a circular letter for the
municipalities to be taken out of the list for twinning towns, Focus
News informs.

Ministry of Interior sent a letter to other towns with orders not to

Bulgarian twin towns recognized Armenian genocide. These are – Bursa,
Kurkklareli and Adapazara. They terminated twinning with Dobrich,
Plovdiv and Shumen after the circular letter of July 18, 2008.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
