Turkey will uncover archive documents of the Ottoman Empire on March 28,
head of the Turkish Senior Department on State Archives Yusuf Sarinay has
said.

The archive materials include official documents of the `Yildiz Sarayi’ (the
assembly of Ottoman sultans), as well as those of State Council, Interior
and Foreign Ministries.

The opening of over a million archive documents will clarify many historical
events, including the claims on the false `Armenian genocide’. The materials
will be available for employees of history institutes, analytical centers
and scientists. Appeals from foreign citizens willing to use the archive
materials will be answered within a day.
