ANKARA (AA) - Allegations about so-called Armenian genocide were not humanitarian, on the contrary, they were political, Vural Cengiz, the chairman of the Assembly of Turkish-American Associations (ATAA), said on Tuesday.
Holding a news conference after holding talks with the Turkish government officials, Cengiz said, ``we support the latest attitude of the Turkish government against allegations about so-called genocide.``
``Any attempt to open the border crossing between Turkey and Armenia will not eliminate those allegations since the Armenian plan is composed of four stages: terrorism, recognition, compensation and claims for territory. Armenian diaspora describes Republic of Armenia as eastern Armenia and eastern part of Turkey as western Armenia,`` he said.
Cengiz added that they were planning to hold demonstrations to express their reaction against those allegations.
