Armenian Historians Refused To Participate In Scientific Conference

ARMENIAN HISTORIANS REFUSED TO PARTICIPATE IN SCIENTIFIC CONFERENCE IN ISTANBUL

DeFacto Agency, Armenia
March 15 2006

Today a scientific conference devoted to the Armenian Genocide started
in Istanbul. The Istanbul University initiated the conference.

According to the Turkish scientists, the conference should “throw
light on some problems referring to the Armenian issue”, Freedom
Radio Station reports. Historians from Armenia also were invited to
the conference; however, they refused to participate in the action.

“We received an invitation and turned down the proposal. The Armenian
scientists’ stand is the following: any scientific measure that casts
doubt on the fact of the Genocide is far from science, while a number
of the participants of the scientific conference at the Istanbul
University distort the historic realities”, stated Chief of Turkish
Department of the Institute of History of National Academy of Science
Ruben Safrastyan.
