FM GUL: “WE CONSIDER SUCH MEETINGS AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLAIN OUR
THESES”

ANKARA – “We consider international meetings an opportunity to
explain our theses both in Turkey and abroad,” Turkish FM & Deputy
Prime Minister Abdullah Gul said on Wednesday about the conference
on Armenians under Ottoman Empire.

Upon a question about the international conference to be held
at Istanbul’s Bogazici University from Sept. 23 to 25, Gul said,
“when I was invited to the conference, I said that I might attend
it in principle if my program enabled me. We consider such meetings
an opportunity to explain our theses both in Turkey and abroad. We
should benefit from such opportunities. We should not remain silent.”

“The most important thing is to explain the historical truths. Our
government has decided to be more active to this end. We will not allow
hostile circles to affect new generations with unfounded allegations,”
Gul added.
