Turkish official condemned for cynical statement about Armenian Genocide16:41 / 04/28/2010
A cynical statement concerning the Armenian Genocide made by Vefa Bardakçı, Head of the Education Department, Çanakkale province, caused a stir in Turkey. “You stabbed us in the back, you betrayed us. You were retaliated against for that betrayal,” he said.
The head of the regional chapter of the Justice and Development Party condemned Vefa Bardakçi. In his turn, the head of the Republican People's Party (RPP) chapter was severely critical of the official. “We expected the head of the education department to provide historical information rather than statements full of hate and sense of vengeance. We urge the official to resign,” he said.
Hayrettin Pişkin, Executive Council member of the Çanakkale chapter, Human Rights Union of Turkey, demanded that the official be immediately relieved of his post for making a statement like that.
