/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Armenian-Turkish dialogue should be
uninterrupted, according to a Turkish expert.

`All kinds of issue can be discussed and our dialogue must cover all
spheres, from the Armenian Genocide to the closed border. Only in this
case, Armenians and Turks can reach understanding,’ Aybars Gorgulu,
expert at Sabanci University and assistant program officer of TESEV
foreign policy program, told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

At that, he noted that many in Turkey are unaware of the Armenian
Genocide in the Ottoman Empire.

`This period of not included history is not in the school
curriculum. People are surprised to hear that Turkey pursues a policy
of denial. That is why our dialogue is important,’ Gorgulu said.
