ARMENIAN WRITER, A FRIEND OF TURKEY, DIES

Armenian writer Edward Taschi, who has defended Turkey throughout his
life against the so-called genocide allegations, died yesterday in
New York, where he had been undergoing medical treatment since March.
Although a lifelong US resident, he learned Turkish and will be
buried tomorrow in a cemetery belonging to Karachay Turks in New
Jersey. Tashci was known for his love for Turkey, which he called his
motherland. /Milliyet/
