-ARMENIAN ALLEGATIONS AND TURKEY'S STANCE- Turkey has long been facing a systematic campaign of defamation defamation In law, issuance of false statements about a person that injure his reputation or that deter others from associating with him. Libel and slander are the legal subcategories of defamation. Libel is defamation in print, pictures, or any other visual symbols. carried out by Armenian lobbying groups. The Armenian diaspora has lately increased its organized activities throughout the world for the recognition of their unfounded allegations in regard to the events of 1915 as ?genocide? by national and local parliaments. Until today, parliaments of several countries passed either resolutions or issued statements on the Armenian issue. Turkey is of the view that parliaments and other political institutions are not the appropriate fora to debate and pass judgments on disputed periods of history. Turkey also encourages historians, scholars and researchers to freely examine and discuss this historical issue in every platform. In this respect, in 2005, Turkey has officially proposed to the Government of Armenia the establishment of a joint commission of history composed of historians and other experts from both sides to study together the events of 1915 not only in the archives of Turkey and Armenia but also in the archives of all relevant third countries and to share their findings with the public. Armenia has not responded positively to this initiative yet.
