/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkish associations in Las Vegas, Nevada yesterday
protested the mayor’s allocation of land for the construction
of a monument commemorating victims of the Armenian Genocide. The
Assembly of Turkish American Associations (ATAA), an organization that
coordinates Turkish associations in Las Vegas, sent a letter of protest
to Mayor Oscar Goodman, in which they stated that such a monument would
distort historical truths and could only be described as a "lynching"
monument. ATAA head Vural Cengiz asserted that there is no evidence
proving that Turks committed genocide against Armenians. He urged
Goodman to withdraw his approval, reports The New Anatolian.
