BAK-TURK Federation: There Is No Single Armenian Who Would Like To Be Side By Side With A Historical Document

ANKARA - BAK-TURK (Bulgaria, Azerbaijan, Crimea, Western Thrace) Federation has held a symposium on the so-called Armenian genocide.
BAK-TURK`s Deputy Chairman Cemil Unal has indicated that there is no single Armenian in the world who would like to be side by side with a historical document. ``Armenians do not want to face historical documents as such documents would imply the end of their dreams of establishing a `Greater Armenia`,`` said Unal.
Unal criticized the Turkish government`s decision to talk with the Armenian President Robert Kocharian and commented that the suggestion made to the Armenians was actually sent to the wrong address.
Former State Minister Dr. Haluk Cay has remarked that Armenians betrayed Turks at a critical moment. ``Armenians not only hurt the Turks, but also Armenians who did not think and act like them,`` stressed Cay.
Cay mentioned that during the war years not only Armenian populations were deported but also those of Muslims. ``After the Russian troops came to Erzurum, the Muslim population in the region were sent to Central and Western Anatolia,`` expressed Cay.
The audience at the symposium were introduced certain documents on genocide allegations and Armenian population figures during the war years.
