Turkish Head Of Nato Parliamentary Assembly Rejects Armenian Bill

ANKARA - Chairman of the Turkish group at the NATO Parliamentary Assembly Vahit Erdem denounced Monday an Armenian bill submitted to the US House of Representatives, saying that it lacked any legal and scientific base.
"Genocide allegations devised by the Armenian propaganda is being used as a political leverage against Turkey," Erdem said in a written statement.
"The draft bill submitted to the House of Representatives fails to recount how the incidents of 1915 erupted or the killings of the Muslim people at the hands of Armenian gangs," Erdem added, qualifying the bill as one-sided.
Erdem also said that Turkey was exerting intense efforts to end what he called "the wrong course of affairs."
"Republic of Turkey will never consent to this injustice," he said.
