TURKISH NATIONALISTS TRY HAMPERING ARMENIAN GENOCIDE CONFERENCE (PHOTOS)
February 04, 2014 | 00:14
A group of young Turkish nationalists attempted to foil a conference
organized by the Irkcılıga ve Milliyetcilige DurDe (Say no to Racism
and Nationalism) initiative in Turkey.
During the conference entitled "Why states do not apologize,"
which was held in Istanbul and ahead of the 100th anniversary of
the Armenian Genocide, a group of youth from the Workers' Party of
Turkey--which is led by Armenian Genocide-denying Turkish politician
Dogu Perincek--entered the conference hall and began chanting,
"Genocide is a lie and a US project!" Marksist.org of Turkey reports.
In response, the conference participants began chanting, "Go out!" and
"We are all Hrant [Dink], we are all Armenians!"
After leaving the conference hall, however, the nationalists went on
to chant in front of the building.
But the conference continued despite the incident.
