    European Court of Justice rejects Armenians' Claims

    Journal of Turkish Weekly, Turkey
    Feb 28 2005

    Armenians are using every possible chance to scratch the image of
    Turkey. The lobbying efforts that Armenians struggle should be spent
    on new energy sources for Armenia. Otherwise Armenia's nuclear plant
    may destroy the lives of millions of Armenians.

    The Court of Justice of the European Communities has decided at its
    sitting presided by judge Koen Lenaerts, to reject the Armenian
    community's appeal urging European Union not to admit Turkey to
    its ranks until the so-called "genocide" allegedly inflicted upon
    Armenians by the Ottoman government in 1915 is recognized.

    Having described the related resolutions adopted by the Parliamentary
    Assembly of the Council of Europe and a few European parliaments in
    1887 as political but not legal, the court has not accepted any of the
    Armenians' arguments, and, moreover, obliged the Armenian community
    to cover the court expenses.

    According to Turkish political commentators, time for Armenian
    worldwide propaganda is over, and the voice of Azerbaijan and Turkey
    are heard louder and louder around the world
