1- Recently, the members of the French National Assembly, debated the trag ic events of 1915, amatter best left to historians. The assembly then recorded uncalled for remarks pertaining to the situation of Armenians living in Turkey.

2- As an earlier dedaration has already communicated, individual Armenians living in Turkey do not face economic, legal, social and religious problems. Indeed, in religious life particularly, they enjoy totalliberty. Some problem s related to their institutional life that the Armenian community do face, have been brought to the attention of the compatent authorities of the State by responsible members of the community and solutions are expected. As is the case for all citizen of the Republic of Turkey, the proper place for discussing issues related to the Turkish citizens of Armenian descent is the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, in Ankara. Therefore, we consider the patronizing attitude of foreign parliaments uselass for the Armenians of Turkey. Based on the stipulations of the treaty of Lausanne, the Armenians of Turkey lead a respectable life, with their five hundred and forty year old Patriarchal See, two hospitals, fifty-seven churches, fifty-eight foundations, eighteen schools, twenty-five choirs, seventean associations, two sports dubs, three newsparers and five magazines.

3- The interference of foreign parliaments, aiming to realize certain international objectives, is regrettable and causes discomfort for us and for all other Turkish citizens, with whom we share a common destiny in our country.

In the name of the Armenians in Turkey: (signed and sealed)
