THE TURKS ARE LEAVING FOR LEBANON WHILE THEIR CASE IS BEING HEARD IN STRASBOURG
Despite the complaints of the Armenian community of Lebanon about the allocation of the Turkish peace-keepers in the country, the troupes will leave for Lebanon today. They will consist of a thousand soldiers. 400 of them represent the naval forces, 500 are infantrymen and the rest are civilians. By the way, Turkey intends to “use” the self-proclaimed “Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus” for sending soldiers to Lebanon.
By the way, today the plenary session of the European Parliament starts in Strasbourg where the report of the Foreign Committee of the Parliament about the reforms in Turkey will be discussed.
In this document the European legislators criticized severely the Turkish authorities and especially their steps towards the improvement of the free expression of opinions, and the improvement of relations with religious and national minorities and Cyprus.
With the same document the members of the European Parliament called on Turkey to open the border with Armenia and to recognize the Armenian Genocide. Most probably the heated discussions will concern this point.
According to Hilda Choboyan, head of the Hay Dat European Office, two political powers of the Parliament, the socialists, and the liberalists, intend to exclude the recognition of the Armenian Genocide from the list of commitments of Turkey, Radio station «Azatutyun» reports.
The socialists are the second in the Parliament by the number of deputies. The first place belongs to the Christian-democrats who, according to Hilda Choboyan, defend the requirement of recognizing the Armenian Genocide.
