GAZIANTEP - "Dokurcum mill in (southeastern city of) Gaziantep where 14 Turkish youths were shot to death by French soldiers should be restored," Tourism Association Chairman Bekir Sitki Severoglu said.
Speaking to the A.A correspondent, Severoglu stated, "French soldiers committed massacres in Gaziantep (in 1920). All countries should be informed on this matter."
Severoglu noted, "I took several initiatives to condemn France, but I did not receive any positive answer on the matter."
He indicated that "Dokurcum Mill Monument" should be erected against the French draft law criminalizing denial of so-called Armenian genocide.
A group of French soldiers executed 14 Turkish youths by shooting in front of Dokurcum Mill on March 28th, 1920 (during Gaziantep Defence in Turkish National Independence War).
