| Turkey: Mentioning Armenian Genocide Gets You 10 Years |
| 2004-10-08 |
Long Branch, NJ --- U.S. Rep. Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ), co-chairman of the Congressional Caucus on Armenian Issues and a member of the Congressional Caucus on Hellenic Issues, today urged the State Department to strongly condemn a new penal code adopted by the Turkish Government late last month that would punish Turkish citizens or groups with up to ten years in prison if they confirm the fact of the Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Turkey or call for the end of the Turkish occupation of Northern Cyprus.Now we can understand Murat's hysterical blindness on the matter. Whadda country! |

| #7 Okay, watch this. The Neo approved, Turkish passed Armenian Gag Law will keep Turkey out of the EU, but that's a good/bad thing for Greece. I'll hit the tip jar. |
