Armenians have used propaganda, 126,000 books published on the
so-called genocide claims, whereas Turkish researchers are, on the
other hand, trying to present the reality of the issue to the world
through only 130 books, stated investigative author Mustafa Onar
yesterday to explain Turkey’s lack of success on the controversial
Armenian problem..
He highlighted that Turks and Armenians have lived together for
centuries and said that rebellious activities started after the 1878
Berlin Treaty. “The Armenians rebelled against the Ottoman Empire
at the incitement of foreign Christians,” said Onar at a conference
entitled “Unforgettable Armenian Problems,” organi zed by the Modern
Life Support Association (CYDD) in Cukurova.
He went on to propose that Turkish historians and scholars should
publish the archives relevant to the issue and new books on the
subject, and added, “While Armenians are trying to justify their
genocide claims with 126,000 published books, and through monuments
in France and the U.S., Turks have only published 130 books on the
controversial problem to date. Turks should increase the number of
related studies.”
