    ONLINE PETITION OPPOSING PROTOCOLS HAS BEEN LAUNCHED

    A worlwide online petition opposing the "Protocols on the Establishment
    of Diplomatic Relations between Armenia and Turkey" has been launched
    at www.votch.org. The petition calls for the outright rejection of
    the protocols.

    Initiated by philologist Krikor Beledian, essayist Janine Altounian,
    journalists Arpig Missakian and Arpi Totoyan, historian Yves Ternon
    of France, Professor Mihran Dabag, Director of the German Research
    Institute on Diasporas, among others, the petition states that
    "to submit such a unique experience as genocide to negotiations
    and a judgment by governmental commissions or sub-commissions would
    subordinate the truth to political maneuvers and power relations".

    The document therefore considers that "by the signing of these
    protocols, Armenia marginalizes the Diaspora, and enters into the
    strategy of the Turkish State to divide the Armenian people and
    to stigmatize and delegitimize the Diaspora for advocating the
    consciousness of the Genocide".
