/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The apology campaign is an objective process that
has started within the Turkish society, an Armenian expert said.

"Turkish people finally seem willing to know the truth," Ruben
Safrastyan, director of the institute of oriental studies at the RA
national academy of sciences, told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

"The Turkish society is trying to confess, clear and dissociate itself
from the sad heritage of the Ottoman Empire, although it will be a
hard process," he said.

"Turkey needs acknowledgment of the Armenian Genocide to move
forward. For Armenia, recognition is the issue of morality and
conscience," he said.

The apology petition initiated by a group of Turkish intellectuals
has been already signed by over 5000 people.
