INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF GENOCIDE SCHOLARS URGES TURKEY
TO RECOGNIZE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE
YEREVAN, JUNE 20. ARMINFO. To get its place among democratic states
Turkey should follow the example of Germany and recognize the
Armenian Genocide, Turkish Milliyet reports the International
Association of Genocide Scholars to have urged Turkish PM Recep
Erdogan.
The association severely criticizes the Turkish government for saying
that the events of 1915 should be studies by historians. The
association blames Erdogan for not knowing of the hundreds of
worldwide historical studies of the Armenian Genocide. Most of the
historians qualify the events as Genocide. Turkey’s attempts to shift
its responsibility for the events are aimed at revising history so as
to make culprits of the victims.
Among the association members are prominent scientists from different
countries including Turkey.
