ArmInfo. I will visit Armenia I get an invitation, Taner Akcam, Turkish
historian, Professor of Clark University, told ArmInfo. ‘I am sure I
will visit Genocide Museum in Yerevan if I arrive in Armenia;, he said.

He said in his book ‘Shameful Act: The Armenian Genocide and the
Question of Turkish Responsibility’, he touched upon the issues that
some people call ‘problematic both for Armenia and Turkey’. ‘ As an
historian, my primary job is to reveal as honestly as possibly what are
concealed or distorted historical events, done so often at the behest
of political powers. I really don’t care who considers my revelation
"problematic". As long as I am honest and my arguments are based on
facts the rest is not my problem’, he said.
