"Turks in Germany, France protest Armenian claims
The New Anatolian / Ankara
Some 5,000 Turks rallied under the slogan 'Take your flag and come to Berlin' over the weekend in Berlin to urge the German Parliament to reverse its decision to acknowledge Armenian genocide claims.
The Talat Pasha movement, responsible for the rally, was initiated by Workers' Party (IP) leader Dogu Perincek and former Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) President Rauf Denktas. Many representatives from Turkish political parties and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) participated.
The participants in the rally marched from Berlin's An der Urania Street to Ernst Reuter Square chanting 'Long live Turkish-German friendship,' 'We didn't commit genocide, we defended the country,' and 'The genocide lie is a U.S. game.' While they carried signs showing photos of Turkish diplomats killed by Armenian terrorists, they also called on the German Parliament to denounce the genocide claims."
