    TURKISH LAWYER APPEALS TO COURT TO RECOGNIZE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

    Tert.am
    14:31 ~U 31.03.10

    A Turkish lawyer has submitted a claim to an Ankara court, demanding
    recognition of the Armenian Genocide, reports Turkish local daily
    Milliyet.

    The claim filed by attorney Bendal Celil Ezman demands the Turkish
    state recognize the Armenian Genocide in the waning days of Ottoman
    Empire in 1915, to condemn Talat Pasha and rename all the streets
    that have been named in his honour.

    This court case is the first of its kind, said Ezman, "Turkey must
    settle its history and past."

    Ezman is one of few Turks who signed the online campaign launched
    in Turkey called "I Apologize to Armenians." With that campaign,
    Turks were apologizing to Armenians for the genocide their ancestors
    committed in the early 20th century.

    Asked whether he wasn't afraid of possible counteractions he might
    face, Ezman said: "If anything happens to me, it'll be God's will."
