Turkey Going to Change Policy on Armenian Genocide Issue

Turkey considers the possibility of ‘appealing to the international court’ on the Armenian Genocide issue, said Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul. In his words, resigned diplomats and ‘reliable’ experts-lawyers are examining the issue in detail. According to Turkish Daily News, Gul also said assured that the government will try to settle the problem within shortest terms. Article titled “Historical step by Turkey” published in Milliyett daily says that the Turkish government ‘elaborates a new policy’ as regards the statements on the Armenian Genocide. At the same time Turkish diplomats refrain from detailed comments on the changes to occur in the Genocide issue line, reports RFE/RL.
