New facts proving the Armenian Genocide have come up in Turkey:
community graves, where supposedly Armenians are buried, have been
found. To prove the fact diggings are needed, which the Turkish
authorities will hardly allow. Editor-in-chief of the Istanbul based
`Marmara’ newspaper Rober Hatechian informs that Turks continue to
demonstrate hostile attitude towards Armenians and other ethnic
minorities.

The Armenian Patriarch of Constantinople Mesrop Archbishop Mutafyan
and the editorial office of the Agos daily still receive letters full
of threats from Turkish nationalists. The Turkish Armenian community
fears that the policy of terrifying Armenians may be applied to
Armenian establishments, particularly schools and regions inhabited by
Armenians.

Recently it became known that community graves have been found in the
cities of Martin and Nusaybin, which can belong to Armenians or
Assyrians. Turkish historian Yusuf Halajoghlu has called on all
scholars of the world to come to Turkey and carry out joint diggings.

Historians of the Swedish Academy have accepted Yusuf Halajoghlu’s
suggestion, declaring that they will arrive in Turkey to carry out
digging April 23-25.

`The Turkish society has already express negative attitude towards
these possible diggings. Now the articles include threats to Swedes,’
says Rober Hatechian.

It’s still hard to say whether digging will be carried out or not. The
authorities of the neighbor country will not allow new proofs of
Turkish barbarism to come up.
