Garo Paylan, Istanbul-Armenian MP of the opposition pro-Kurdish People’s Democratic Party (HDP) of Turkey, made an entry on his Twitter account, and with respect to the incident that occurred Friday in the Turkish parliament.

“The perpetrator of the [Armenian] Genocide is not the Turkish people; it is the fascist mindset that always commits a crime, [but] never gives an account [for it].

“My saying genocide in parliament was unlawfully penalized.  

“The AKP [i.e. the ruling Justice and Development Party] was [allegedly] demolishing taboos [in Turkey].

“It’s a pity.

“At the parliament rostrum, I repeatedly called the calamity that befell my people as genocide.

“When the AKP played into the hands of the MHP [i.e. the Nationalist Movement Party], the demolished taboos arose again,” Paylan tweeted, in particular.

As reported earlier, Garo Paylan was barred from attending three parliamentary sessions, for speaking about Armenian Genocide, in parliament.
