    Armenians' "genocide" claims to eventually lose meaning - Turkish ruling party


    Jan. 02--"Armenian genocide" is a threat to peace in the region, a
    board member of Turkey's ruling Justice and Development Party, Mazhar
    Bagli told Trend.

    He said Turkey rejects Armenian claims according to which the events
    of 1915 are "Armenian genocide".

    Turkey has repeatedly expressed readiness to open its archives to
    investigate the events of 1915, and the country has opened all its
    archives, said Bagli.

    He added that as a result of the development of relations with
    brotherly Azerbaijan and other brotherly nations, Armenians' claims
    regarding the "genocide" will eventually lose meaning.

    Bagli said that with its increasing power, Turkey will easily be able
    to cope with this issue.

    Armenia and the Armenian lobby claim that Turkey's predecessor, the
    Ottoman Empire allegedly carried out "genocide" against the Armenians
    living in Anatolia in 1915. Turkey in turn has always denied "the
    genocide" took place.

    While strengthening the efforts to promote the so-called "genocide" in
    the world, Armenians have achieved its recognition by the parliaments
    of some countries.

    Although Turkey has repeatedly proposed to create an independent
    commission to investigate the events of 1915, Armenia continues to
    reject this proposal.
