IN BOOKLET SENT TO US CONGRESS, TURKISH HISTORICAL SOCIETY MAKES CASE
AGAINST ARMENIAN RESOLUTION
Speaking at a press conference yesterday, Justice and Development
Party (AKP) Istanbul Deputy Egemen Bagis said that a booklet using
documents from the Turkish Historical Society (TTK) has been sent to
US Congressmen to help make the case against the Armenian resolution
now before the House of Representatives. Also speaking at the press
conference, AKP Diyarbakir Deputy Aziz Akgul stated that the
resolution was full of misinformation, adding that the booklet
provides documentary evidence that there was no genocide. For his
part, Bagis also stated that US Muslim leader W.D. Mohammed is due to
arrive in Turkey next week, saying that he would help to prevent the
passage of the resolution in Washington. /Turkiye/
