Genocide
A nationalist Turkish lawyer said yesterday that he has petitioned
prosecutors to bring an Armenian religious leader to trial for
`insulting Turkishness.' Karekin II, whose official title is
Catholicos of All Armenians, made a visit to the Greek Orthodox
leader in Istanbul last week. While calling for improved relations
between the two countries, he repeated Armenia's long-held view that
the Turks committed genocide against Armenians. Lawyer Kemal
