ANKARA - Hasan Korkmazcan, the Chairman of Turkish Parliamentary Union (TPB), sent a letter to the Speaker and members of the U.S. House of Representatives, regarding the so-called Armenian genocide allegations.
In his letter, Korkmazcan said that unilateral comments on this issue may harm alliance, goorelations and peace between Turkey and the USA.
Recalling that Turkey`s initiatives undertaken with good-will to launch scientific researches on the matter have been rejected (by the Armenians), Korkmazcan said, "Baseless discourses have not only distorted historical facts but also turned them into political moves that thwart scientific discussions. I sincerely believe that you will not agree with these racist claims, which have no proof, and you will handle the facts seriously. I also believe that your approach will create a fair answer to those who want to hamper improvement of Turkish-Armenian relations with out-of-date and superficial policies".
