A group of Armenian scientists, actors, artists, representatives of
NGO-s and mass media have sent an open letter to the President of
Turkey Abdullah Gul.
It is particularly mentioned in the letter: "Honorable Mister
President, in the aftermaths of recent events, the current conditions
in South Caucasus, the attempt of the President of Armenia to invite
you to Armenia and your visit have proven that Armenia-Turkey improved
relations demand more brave and legal solutions. First of all, we
are looking forward to the solution of Armenian Genocide. We should
acknowledge that this problem has separated two nations since 1915. It
has become a source of unique dispute among Armenians and Turkish,
hence dictates our steps irrespective of modern policies. Mister
President, in this case we have to deal with the evil deed against
human kind which is untimely. Not only Armenians spread all over demand
that, but also international society is looking forward to that."
It is also mentioned that the Ottoman Empire is guilty towards
Armenians for the biggest crime against human beings – genocide
and that today’s Turkey is responsible for the activities of their
ancestors.
The letter is signed by writer Perch Zeytuntsyan, actor Sos Sargsyan,
President of Writers’ Union Levon Ananyan, President of artists’
union Karen Aghamyan, editor of "Aravot" daily Aram Abrahamyan, the
head of "Haylur" program of Public TV Harutyun Harutyunyan and others.
