/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkish MPs have misled over 90 PACE delegates,
persuading them to sign a statement addressed to Armenian President
Robert Kocharian, stated Vice-Speaker of the Armenian ParliamentTigran
Torosian. It should be reminded that the statement in question
was sponsored by representatives of Turkey and urged the Armenian
leader to accept Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan~Rs
proposal to form a joint commission of historians to study the fact
of the Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Turkey in early past century.
In Torosian~Rs words, at the moment Turks were gathering signatures of
PACE delegates, Robert Kocharian had already sent a response message
to the Turkish Premier and the Turkish parliamentarians did not manage
to inform the European MPs about it. It should be reminded that a
total of 97 PACE MPs signed the document. Among those, who signed
the document are 10 Turks, 10 Russians, 8 Azeris and 4 Georgians,
