Turkey’s top EU official meets EP chief in Brussels.

BRUSSELS Turkey’s European Union Minister and Chief Negotiator for
accession talks Egemen Bagis on Tuesday met with European Parliament
President Martin Schulz in Brussels.

Commenting on foreign parliaments’ attitude toward Armenian allegations
on the Ottoman era incidents of 1915, Bagis said politicians and
parliaments should focus on the future instead of dealing with the
past and making historical research.

“Politicians should not steel any role from historians. Our job is to
make a history which is much more peaceful, prosperous and hopeful,”
Bagis told a joint press conference with Schulz after their meeting.

“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
