The New Anatolian, Turkey
March 5 2007
Saban Disli, a member of the Turkish parliamentary delegation which is
currently in Washington D.C. so as to express Turkey's sensitivity
regarding the Armenian resolution submitted to the U.S. House
of Representatives, said it is a black spot trying to defame the
historyof Turkey.
Disli, who is an MP of Justice and Development Party (AKP),
held a press conference in Washington D.C., together with other
parliamentarians from the delegation.
Stressing that "a large-scale struggle" was necessary on the matter,
Disli said, "this is a serious issue. It is a black spot trying
to defame our history". He also said that the delegation tried to
explain the consequences of the approval of such a resolution to the
related parties.
Disli stressed that two separate parliamentary delegations would
visit Washington D.C. within this month as a part of this struggle,
aiming to explain the views of the Turkish society on the issue to
American congressmen.
Upon a question on which measures Turkey would take in case of the
resolution's approval and whether a resolution condemning the "Indian
genocide" would be adopted at the Turkish parliament, Disli noted,
"We do not want to consider the probability of the approval of the
resolution. We are working for a lasting solution".
Commenting of the Jewish lobby's stance regarding the Armenian
resolution as well, Disli indicated that the representatives of the
lobby expressed that they watched the issue closely, however they
did not want to affirm which steps they would take on the matter.
