Turkish Organization Preparing to File Lawsuit Against Armenia

ISTANBUL — The Turkish Izmir­ Erzerum Foundation for Culture and Solidarity has decided to file a lawsuit against Armenia for accusing Turkey of genocide, and show through a court procedure that “the Armenians actually massacred the Turks” in 1915. “Armenpress” reports, citing the Turkish Ihlas News Agency, Director of the Foundation Coskun Isik declared that the goal of the Foundation is to show through a court procedure who the “real killers are and who the real massacred are” among the Turks and Armenians.

Isik said there hadn’t been any legal process for the past 100 years and that the Foundation wants to launch the process.

“We will demand that the US provide us with documents from the archives of the Dashnaktsutyun Party and the Hunchakian Party. We will demand the reports of US Consuls and Ambassadors of the time,” Isik said.
