/PanARMENIAN.Net/ A group to Turkish historians have sent an open
letter to Armenian President Robert Kocharian. The authors of
the letter are concerned over the fate of Turkish scholar Yektan
Turkyilmaz, taken into custody in Yerevan. “No one notified him in
advance,” the message authors write, urging Armenian leaders not to
exacerbate the already fragile Armenian-Turkish relations, reported
Turkish Daily News. It should be reminded that Yerevan-Istanbul
flight passenger – Turkish citizens Yektan Turkyilmaz – was taken
into custody at Zvartnots Airport. A large lot of books of 17-20th
centuries was found in his luggage and seized.
