ANKARA - "Both the inventor and perpetrator of genocide claims are Western countries. They inject their own crimes in us and want us to claim responsibility for those crimes," the Motherland Party (ANAP) leader Erkan Mumcu said when addressing his party group in the parliament on Tuesday.
Prior to his speech, Mumcu observed a minute of silence in the memory of Turkish citizens massacred by Armenians (during WWI).
"The West should go first through a process to get rid of 'Turk complex'. Otherwise, their enmity towards Turkey will not end. The history of the West is hypocritical," he said.
ANAVATAN leader Mumcu underscored that the target of France which prepares to adopt a draft law (that makes any denial of so-called Armenian genocide a crime) is to push its hinterland towards east of Turkey."
On the other hand, Mumcu defended that Turkey was weak on foreign policy, indicating that Ankara failed to take initiatives on issues concerning its own fate.
