FIVE ISSUES CONCERNING TURKEY ABOUT ARMENIA AND ARMENIAN GENOCIDE ON
AGENDA OF EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT
According to Azeri Press agency, in the course of the coming September
25-28 sitting of the European Parliament the voting of five issues
concerning Turkey will take place. The issues included on the agenda at
the initiative of French socialists has to do with the denial of Taleat
Pasha’s establishment of a movement, the neutralization of the movement
by the Turkish Government, the demand to recognize the Armenian
Genocide, the establishment of diplomatic relations with Armenia
and lifting the blockade off the Armenian-Turkish border. Besides,
the agreement signed by Turkey and EU at the European Parliament
can be continued only after implementation of the abovementioned
preconditions. The French Socialists demand that the draft to the
document should include a point on Turkey’s deliberate denial of the
Armenian Genocide.
The source also informed that the consultation council of the Taleat
Pasha movement held a special sitting in Istanbul to define the
further steps that would resist the above program of CE.
It’s worth mentioning that the Taleat Pasha movement was established to
carry out lobbying of denying the Armenian Genocide at the parliaments
that have recognized the Armenian genocide.
