  • Turkey to address the Hague Int'l Court to prove inconsistencies

    Armenian Genocide

    TURKEY TO ADDRESS THE HAGUE INTERNATIONAL COURT TO
    PROVE THE INCONSISTENCE OF THE "ARMENIAN GENOCIDE
    ALLEGATIONS"

    As April 24 is drawing nearer, the political,
    governmental and intellectual circles of the Turkish
    society are becoming more active about the Armenian
    Genocide, and their anxiety is urging them towards
    short-sighted actions. The most "remarkable" of those
    actions were made by prof. Yusuf Halacoglu, president
    of the Turkish Historic Society.

    First of all, on the Turkish Public Television he
    promised to put his head into the noose in case the
    fact of the Armenian Genocide of 1915 is proved. Then
    he stated that the Armenians died because of diseases
    and epidemics during the deportation.

    When promising to hang himself Halacoglu clearly
    remembered about the abolition of death penalty in
    Turkey. And when speaking about epidemics he was
    trying to consolidate the positions of the Turkish
    negationism, which is incompatible with the historical
    truth.

    Another remarkable thing was the Turkish Parliament's
    proposal to the National Assembly and the Senate of
    France. On January 31 "Zaman" and "Miliet" reported
    that the Turkish parliament promoted an initiative to
    argue the French law on denying the Armenian Genocide
    at the International Court of Hague.

    According to the information received, a parliamentary
    delegation was sent from Ankara to Paris with a
    proposal to address to the Hague International Court
    in order to find out whether the law on recognition of
    the Armenian Genocide, adopted in France in 2001,
    meets the requirements of the UN Convention on
    Genocide or not.

    Member of the Turkish delegation Sukuroglu declared
    that Turkey shall address to the International court
    alone in case France refuses to cooperate. Then he
    stated that the French Parliament violated the UN
    Convention on Genocide by recognizing the fact
    Armenian Genocide, and therefore the authorities of
    Ankara are determined to prove the illegality of the
    French law on the Genocide and the inconsistence of
    the Armenians' claims.
