The Turkish Grand National Assembly reacted against the Canadian
House of Commons decision which recognized the so-called Armenian
genocide. In a letter to the Canadian House of Commons, National
Assembly Speaker Bulent Arinc said: This decision runs counter to
the efforts to normalize Turkish-Armenian relations in a sensitive
place in the world.
In his letter, Arinc said that describing the 1915 events on the
basis of distorted historical data as genocide is an inexcusable
mistake. Harshly condemning the one-sided and erroneous decision of
the Canadian House of Commons, Arinc demanded that this mistake be
corrected as soon as possible.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
