"Armenian side shows unlimited self-confidence", – said Kamal Chichek,
head of the Armenian Research Desk at the Turkish Historical Society
during a panel discussions at the Turkish House in Washington DC, on
November 20th.
The event was held by the Assembly of Turkish American Organizations
(ATAA) in order to discuss the Turkish-Armenian relations.
Kamal Chichek said despite the Zürich agreement (which are supposed to
make the relationship between the two countries better), the Armenian
Diaspora in the US is trying to raise the genocide issue in Congress
again. The Turkish Diaspora is concerned about that. This matter will
be discussed in the beginning of December during prime-minister
Erdogan’s visit to US.
Chichek says that Armenians are creating false facts.
Answering question, head of the Armenian Research Desk at the Turkish
Historical Society stresses that the Turkish side believes that the
joint historical commission will dig out the truth.
"It will be good opportunity. Armenians will see that the documents
which they read are not correct. Their arguments are not strong. For
example, recently Armenians quoted Talat Pasha’s telegram where
according to Armenians he said that genocide really happened. But
there is no such a telegram in reality. If we create a joint
commission Turkish side can provide to Armenian side all of telegrams
written by Talat Pasha" `said Turkish representative.
The participants of the panel also mentioned that while investigating
the history, people mustn’t forget such recent events as the massacre
in Khojali.
