"If we imagine for a moment that the Armenian-Turkish commission of
historians comes to the conclusion that no Genocide took place in
Ottoman Turkey, what will become of those countries who have already
recognized the fact of Genocide?" Turkologist Hakob Chakryan stated
during a press conference today.

The analyst also stated that the creation of a commission, its shape
and activities, are not easy issues for Turkey.

At the same time, Chakryan added that this is a very political issue,
and historians have no right to make political decisions.
