Fairfax media reports Turkey has made it clear that New South Wales MPs are not welcome to attend the 2015 ceremony because of bipartisan support for a motion moved in parliament by Mr O'Farrell in May which recognises and condemns the genocide,
The motion "condemned the genocide of the Armenians by the then Ottoman government between 1915 and 1922" in which 1.5 million Armenians are said to have died.
The warning came from a Turkish Speaker of the parliament on the eve of a public ballot for 8000 tickets reserved for Australians to attend the ceremony at Gallipoli on April 25, 2015.

Mr O'Farrell has told Fairfax that two similar Armenian genocide resolutions had been moved in NSW in 1996 and 2012 without any similar threats being made to disrupt the 100-year anniversary.
