TURKEY MUST RECOGNIZE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE AND APOLOGIZE - TURKISH SOCIALIST
- ANKARA. - The 1915 events correspond to the Genocide definition, adopted by the UN in 1945, head of Turkish Revolutionary Socialist Workers' Party (DSIP) Doğan Tarkan said on Monday.
He stated that the Turkish nationalists, who spoke against the bill adoption on penalizing the Armenian Genocide by the French National Assembly, did not respond to what happened with 1.5 million Armenians in 1915.
"Denial is the last page of the Genocide. We call to struggle against the racism, national discrimination and the denial of the Genocide. Turkey must recognize and apologize," Doğan Tarkan stated.
Earlier, French National Assembly (lower house) passed the bill on penalizing the Armenian Genocide on December 22.
