"Azg" daily has already informed that on the occasion of the 70th
anniversary of the Dersim Genocide the European Parliament is
organizing "Dersim 38 conference" November 13, according to Turkish
newspapers "Zaman" and "Vatan". Turkish version of "Euro news" also
touched upon the conference on abhaber.com website.
We cleared up that the European Parliament is going to hold another
conference on November 13 under heading "Armenian cultural heritage
in Turkey". The information has been avoided by the Turkish press.
According to abhaber.com, EC member Michael Lei, well-known
Turkish lawyer, author of the book "My grandmother" Fethien Cetin,
historian, publicist Osman Keocker, French-Armenian Prof. Patrick
Tonapetian, Director of London "Komitas" Institute Ara Sarafian,
also German-Armenian historian Vahe Taschian will participate in the
conference. It’s surprising that no Armenian specialist in cultural
heritage is invited to the conference.
