/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkey did not commit any genocide including that
of Armenians, according to a Turkish expert.
"Under war conditions, there were acts initiated in Turkey by
Armenians. This is due to requirements of war. We should take it
into account when speaking about the past and leave its analysis
to historians," Sinan Ogan, Chair of the Turkish Center for
International Relations and Strategic Analysis, said in an interview
with PanARMENIAN.Net.
"Present-day Turkish-Armenian relations are clouded not only by the
genocide issue but also by absence of agreement on borders between
the two countries. Armenia should declare openly and on the basis
of agreements that it does not have any territorial demands from
Turkey. Turkey also has to make a similar statement.
Armenia should give up its genocide propaganda. Similarly, it has
to seal a peaceful agreement with Azerbaijan on the Nagorno Karabakh
problem. In this case we can develop all kind of good relations with
Armenia. Both Armenia and Turkey should not put pressure on current
and future generations’ lives through the past," he said.
