Australian Foreign Minister: Armenian Case not Genocide

Australian Foreign Minister: Armenian Case not Genocide –

Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop informed the Australian Turkish Advocacy Alliance (ATA-Australia) that it was Australian foreign policy not to define the Armenian case as genocide, and that it was unconstitutional for Australian territories to promulgate their own foreign policy.  The Foreign Minister’s policy affirmation was in response to the inquiry of Barrister and ATA-Australia Sydney President Ertunc Ozen in the wake of a New South Wales parliamentary resolution defining the 1915 massacre of armenians in Anatolia as genocide.
