ISTANBUL, APRIL 6, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. The newspaper
"New York Times" (US) made a correction in an article published in
its March 29 issue.

In the article "Resolution on the Armenian Genocide Angers Turkey"
by Brian Nolte and Shebnem Arsu (Istanbul), the genocide committed
in 1915 is presented as "massacres" of Armenians.

According to the newspaper "Marmara" (Istanbul), on April 5 the
editorail staff of "The New York Times" made a correction and wrote
that the actions committed against Armenians in 1915 were not massacres
but a genocide.

The newspaper reminded its readers that in 2004 its editorial board
made a decision, according to which the events of 1915 are considered
as genocide and the editorial staff must use the word "genocide"
when addressing this issue.
