TURKEY SHOULD TAKE POSITIVELY FORMATION OF INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION ON
ARMENIAN GENOCIDE: SWISS FM
YEREVAN, MARCH 30. ARMINFO. Turkish FM Abduallah Gul has met in Ankara
with his Swiss counterpart Micheline Calmy-Rey. Among other issues the
FMs discussed the problem of the Armenian Genocide.
Hurriyet reports Calmy-Rey as saying that Turkey should take the
Armenian Genocide issue the way Switzerland did with the problem of
the Nazi Gold. Reminding Gul how hard it was for Switzerland to accept
the formation of an international commission for examining the problem
of the gold of Holocaust victims Calmy-Rey said that Turkey should
take positively the formation of a similar commission on the Armenian
Genocide.
In response Gul called a mistake the recognition of the Armenian
Genocide by the Swiss canton of Waadtland (Vaud) saying that it was
the Armenian Diaspora who raised the Armenian Genocide issue just to
continue its existence. If there is any doubt Turkey invites best
international experts to study the problem.
