    Spain withdraws Armenian genocide bill after talks with Turkish embassy

    Anatolia news agency, Ankara,
    19 Sep 06

    Madrid, 19 September: A resolution on the so-called Armenian genocide
    submitted earlier to the Spanish parliament has been withdrawn after
    the Turkish embassy in Madrid held talks with Spanish officials.

    The resolution was submitted to the Spanish parliament by two deputies
    of the Republican Left of Catalonia Party (ERC) last June.

    Turkish Ambassador in Madrid Volkan Vural got in touch with authorities
    in the Spanish Foreign Ministry and Parliament and also sent letters
    to the two ERC deputies and Chairman of the Parliamentary Foreign
    Affairs Commission Josep Antoni Duran Lleida.

    In his letters sent to Spanish officials, Volkan emphasized how
    wrong such an initiative is and that the resolution would harm
    Turkish-Spanish relations if adopted at the parliament.

    Ambassador Vural held a tete-a-tete meeting with ERC deputy Maria
    Bonas and convinced her to withdraw the resolution on the so-called
    Armenian genocide.
