/PanARMENIAN.Net/ British historian of Armenian origin Ara Sarafyan
backed away from a planned initiative for joint studies on the Armenian
Genocide initiated by President of the Turkish History Association,
Professor Yusuf Halacoglu. Halacoglu said, in his letter the Armenian
historian noted, "I am watching the developments from the Turkish
media. I am sorry that we’ll not be able to move ahead with the
joint project." Turkish Daily News reported Halacoglu showed the
press a copy of Turkish-Armenian newspaper "Agos", which published an
article about Armenian Diaspora reactions to Sarafyan’s consent. The
Turkish historian also said mass graves claimed to belong to Armenians
and Assyrians in Mardin would start to be opened on April 24, the
commemoration day of the Armenian Genocide.
