NEW YORK - Ata Erim, the Chairman of the Federation of Turkish American Associations (TADF) promoted the autobiographic book of American citizen of Armenian origin Edward Tashji, who is a friend of Turks, in a news conference he held in New York.
Tashji who is in intensive care unit for three weeks couldn't attend the promotion meeting of the book titled ''Armenian Allegations-The Truth Must Be Told-, but his wife Mary Tashji and relatives were there.
Erim said that the book was a real life story which would refute the Armenian allegations, stressing that even only this book proved clearly that no genocide was committed against Armenians.
Erim said that the book which was written in English would be sent to American senators, parliamentarians, governors, mayors, TV anchormen, newspaper editors, university and high school libraries, members of European Parliament and all members of the United Nations.
Erim noted that TADF united its efforts with the NGOs in Turkey, US and Canada and started a 'counter attack' against the Armenian campaign. A Turkish group would march this year in Washington D.C. on April 24th to protest the Armenian claims of genocide, he said.
Erim added that they also sent a letter to all members of US Congress and another one to leading newspapers in the US like New York Times, Washington Post and Los Angeles Times to be published on April 24th as a reply to Armenian allegations.
