YEREVAN (YERKIR) – Conferences summoned by Turkish historians have one
single objective ` to engage Armenians in a dispute over the Armenian
Genocide to find out whether it really took place, ARF Bureau’s Hay
Dat and Political Office Director Kiro Manoian told PanARMENIAN.Net
reporter. In his words, Armenian historians are absolutely right to
reject invitations to forums of the kind.

`Armenian historians have nothing to talk about with the people
representing the viewpoint of the Turkish state. Another matter when
they communicate with the representatives of Turkish scientific
circles recognizing the Armenian Genocide.

Our historians meet with Taner Ancam, Murad Belge and some others. I
should say that these people receive invitations even later than
Armenians do and sometimes they do not manage to arrive in time at a
conference organized at a state level,’ Manoian underscored.
