    CLAIMS LODGES AGAINST ARMENIAN SCIENTISTS IN TURKEY


    YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 20. ARMINFO. A claim was lodged in the Turkish
    Prosecutor's Office Uskudar against Armenian scientists.

    The Turkishpress writes: "A denouncement has been filed against
    several Armenian scholars who organized a conference on 'the
    so-called Armenian genocide' and used Ataturk's picture on a poster
    at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). The denouncement
    was filed at the Uskudar Republican Prosecutor's Office and had the
    signatures of Dr. Ibrahim Oztek, Dr. Zihni Papakci and owner of
    Iktidar Magazine Metin Hacimustafaoglu. A conference 'on the
    so-called Armenian genocide' was organized at UCLA which was attended
    by Armenian scholars Vahram Shemmassian, Ardashes Kassakhian and
    Levon Marashlian last April. The conference posters had Ataturk's
    picture in front of puppies. Dr. Oztek stressed that Turks and the
    founder of Turkey Ataturk were insulted by the posters and conference
    organized at UCLA. ''We will sue those responsible for the insult
    against the Turks,'' noted Oztek."
