Ukrainian MP slams Turkey’s policy of Genocide denialOctober 24, 2012 - 16:23 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Ukrainian MP Les Tanyuk slammed Turkey’s policy of Genocide denial, urging Ankara to stop playing games. In an interview with Analitika.at.ua, Tanyuk criticized Turkey’s reluctance to come to terms with its past, noting that the fact of the Armenian Genocide hasn’t been negated even by the countries who did not recognize it officially. “Ukraine has always supported Armenians in this issue, although in a closed manner,” Tanyk noted. “I was never indifferent to this tragedy. In 1965, the 50th anniversary of Genocide, I, along with a number of Armenian supporters formed a group to promote Genocide awareness. With Moscow’s pro-Azeri stance back then, the issue was very hard to discuss publicly. We organized a news conference, with western reporters invited. We were able provide them with a huge database on Genocide, containing figures, facts and photos. This is how I came to represent Armenian Diaspora without being an Armenian, and I’m happy to have been able to help my friends,” Tanyuk said.
