Attorney Bendal Celil Ezman applied to a Turkish civil court, demanding recognition of the Armenian Genocide. In his application, the attorney demands to find Talaat Pasha and his accomplices guilty and rename the streets carrying his name, Haberturk reported.

Ezman demands starting an investigation based on Turkey’s Criminal Code on crimes against humanity. “This will be the first trial of the kind in Turkey, which has to acknowledge its past. Should anything happen to me, such is, then, the will of God,” said Ezman, one of the signatories of apology petition put up on Internet in December 2008.
