Baykal Pleased With Ongoing Armenian Conference

ANKARA – Deniz Baykal, the leader of the main opposition Republican
People’s Party (CHP), expressed on Saturday pleasure that the
Conference entitled ”The Armenians during the Collapse of the
Ottoman Empire” was being held in Istanbul.

Releasing a statement, Baykal regretted the court decision that
suspended the conference, and said, ”obstructing people from
expressing their views is contrary to principles of state of law and
democracy.”
