ANKARA. – The Turkish parliament’s Human Rights Commission Chairman
Ayhan Sefer Ustun is disturbed by the offensive expressions that
were made against the Armenians during the rally, which was held on
February 26 in downtown Istanbul, against the incidents in Khojaly.

Ustun noted that the slogans made during the demonstration were racist
and discriminatory, and they spread hatred.

“In 2005, we made changes in Turkey’s Criminal Code, where it is
plainly written as to the punishment that should be given to those
who spread xenophobia. But the prosecutors do not apply these laws,
and the racist statements continue,” the Turkish parliament’s Human
Rights Commission Chairman noted, Radikal daily of Turkey informs.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
