    TURKISH LAWMAKERS TO VISIT YEREVAN IN JUNE

    AZG Armenian Daily #099, 01/06/2005

    Visit

    Hurriyet newspaper informs in May 29 issue that Turkish deputy
    Turhan Comez from ruling Justice and Prosperity Party together with
    other lawmakers will arrive in Armenia on June 9 with a three-day
    visit. Reportedly, Justice and Prosperity Party has approved of the
    visit. Though there is no schedule of the visit so far, Comez's
    delegation will probably meet RA President Robert Kocharian and
    government representatives. Comez will deliver a lecture at Yerevan
    State University.

    Comez has recently opened the exhibition of "Turkish genocide at
    hands of the Armenians". He has been collecting documents at the
    Turkish History Foundation and the Supreme Headquarters for the last
    4 months. The last facts allowed Hurriyet to conclude that Comez
    will send Armenia's leadership a signal, "There was no genocide but
    rather an exile. For opening borders with Turkey and for development
    of trade-economic relations you have to give up genocide claims".

    Turkish NTV notes that Comez is visiting Yerevan "on invitation
    of Samson Ozararat, Armenian President's adviser". Hurriyet adds,
    "Ozararat is the person who organized the meeting of head of National
    Movement Party Alparslan Tyurkes and first Armenian President Levon
    Ter-Petrosian 12 years ago".
