A Group of Turkish Citizens Requests Parliament to Respond to the Adoption of Armenian Genocide Resolutions

A group of Turkish citizens has submitted a petition to the parliament demanding a response to the adoption of resolutions about the Armenian Genocide by various countries' parliaments. This information was reported by Ermenihaber.

The petition calls on the parliament to take action, noting that Turkish citizens have remained "defenseless against physical and psychological pressure." According to the Turkish source, the petition includes several points. One of the points states that the adoption of genocide resolutions "targets the Turkish people and those who do not recognize genocide in general."

Another point mentions that these resolutions violate the rights of Turkish citizens, adding that resolutions regarding the Armenian Genocide directly "target freedom of speech and thought." This point also states that these resolutions ignore the "massacres of Ottoman peoples," particularly the "Turkish people in the last century," diverting from the idea of shared suffering by specifically targeting Turks and Turkish citizens.

The third point states that the Turkish parliament has not yet adequately responded to the decisions condemning the Armenian Genocide from the parliaments of Italy and France. The citizens who submitted the petition have demanded that the Turkish authorities take concrete steps regarding this issue.
