    Akp Deputy Comez Says Armenia Should Give Up Its Allegations

    Turkish Press
    June 13 2005

    YEREVAN (AA) - Turkish Justice and Development Party (AKP) deputy from
    Balikesir Dr. Turhan Comez said that new initiative should be launched
    in regard to so-called Armenian genocide, adding that Armenia should
    give up its genocide allegations.

    Comez, continuing his tour of Yerevan, had a meeting with Armenian
    deputy Hacat Sukyasyan.

    Comez and Sukyasyan exchanged views on development of relations
    between Turkey and Armenia.

    "There had been sufferings in 1915. Many Ottomans lost their
    lives... Armenian people also died. The two countries should carry
    out a joint study. When I deliver a speech at the Turkish Parliament
    for opening of Armenian border gate, at the same time you can deliver
    a speech at your parliament saying that incidents happened in 1915
    were not genocide; that historians should study these issues and that
    Armenia should respect the territorial integrity of Turkey. Maybe,
    it is a small step, but it will be an important beginning," Comez
    told Sukyasyan.

    Sukyasyan noted that the two countries should leave aside problems
    between them, stating that border gate should be opened by Turkey
    and Armenia.

    Stressing that after border gate was opened, the two countries would
    further improve, Sukyasyan added that Turkey and Armenia should
    further develop the region together.
