TURKISH PARLIAMENTARY COMMISSION EU INTEGRATION TO HEAR REPORT ON ARMENIAN GENOCIDE TODAY
Today the Turkish Parliamentary Commission on Accession to the European Union will hear a report on the Armenian Genocide of 1915, which will be presented by journalists of Armenian origin Hrant Dink and Etienne Makhtchikian, Arminfo news agency reported. For their critical remarks and daring statements the journalists have an image of "profound intellectuals" in Turkey. Hrant Dink at present is a participant of two trials at once - being accused in slander against Turkey in one of the cases and being accused in declaring himself Armenian in the second one.
