ISTANBUL, APRIL 25, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. Turk and Swedish
specialists did research words on April 23 in the mass grave found out
in the village of Kuru, Nusaybin, which was pointed out as the grave of
Armenians killed in 1915. According to the Radikal newspaper, during
the researches Professor of the Sodertorn University of Sweden stated
that this is not the grave he was shown. In the Swedish specialist’s
words, "the remains which were pictured in the photos do not exist
in that grave. And the surroundings are not convenient for future
analyses." He even refused to take models of remains and ground from
the grave. And Doctor Professor Yusuf Halacoglu, the Chairman of the
Turkish Historical Society insisted that models of the remains and
ground taken from the grave must be studied at laboratories. "After
this we are ready to go and do research works in all those graves
which Armenians will show us," the Turkish historian said.
Turkish Zaman mentions that there are opinions about the fact that
this grave belongs to the Roman era.
