Holding a news conference, Aksu said that the first one of protests
would take place in New York`s Times Square on April 21st, and the
second one in Washington D.C. on April 22nd.
"We also want to erect a monument in New Jersey out of respect to
Turkish diplomats who were slain by Armenian terrorists. We held
talks with Turkish Consul General in New York Mehmet Samsar," Ulker
added.
Meanwhile, Hayati Tekin, mayor of Kutlukent town of the northern
Turkish city of Samsun from the delegation of Turkish mayors visiting
New York, said in his part, "Armenian allegations are nothing but
lies. They unfoundedly accuse the Ottomans which embraced all
nations."
"The monument to be erected in New Jersey for the memory of Turkish
diplomats will cost about 300 thousand USD. We, as the Union of
Turkish Municipalities (TBB), will be pleased to pay it," Tekin
added.
