Erzurum, 10 January: Association to fight against false genocide claims
(ASIMED) sent a multimedia CD to American President George W. Bush and
the US Congress members, featuring an account of services committed
by Turks to humanity throughout the history.
The ASIMED chairman, Assistant Prof Savas Egilmez, speaking to Anatolia
correspondent underscored Turks have made sacrifices all throughout
history that set example to humanity.
"We are not a nation that committed genocides but one that saved the
victims of genocides. History is full of such examples and the whole
world knows this," said Egilmez.
Underlining the excitement of the Armenian lobby in the USA after
the Democrats' victory in the elections and election of their
supporter Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi as the new Speaker of the House
of Representatives, Egilmez said, "The Armenians started lobbying
right after the elections to make it possible for the 'genocide lie'
to be acknowledged by the American Congress. They aim to demand amends
and claim land from Turkey after making the strongest country in the
world recognize the so-called genocide."
Reminding the remarks of one of the most important supporters of
the Armenian lobby, California Congressman Adam Schiff, saying "our
chances of getting the Armenian genocide draft accepted at the congress
is the highest in 10 years", Egilmez said they started a campaign to
inform members of the Congress and asked Turkish citizens to support
the campaign and send e-mails to congressmen.
