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.
