ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF GENOCIDE POSSIBLE ONLY HAVING REALIZED ITS CAUSES
/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Unless the Turkish society realizes and gets to know the causes and consequences of the events of 1915, it will not be able to acknowledge the Armenian Genocide. Stated Editor-in-Chief of Agos Turkish journal Hrant Dink, when commenting on the holding of Ottoman Armenians in Period of Collapse of the Empire: questions of scientific policy and democracy conference in Istanbul, reported the Yerkir newspaper. In his words, before the 20-es of the past century there was no taboo in Turkey on the discussion of the Armenian issue, moreover, monuments to Genocide victims were erected. However, since 1923, when people, who had committed the Armenian Genocide, started “penetrating” into the ruling elite of Turkey, the discussion of the issues of the Armenian Genocide was banned. Moreover, pensions were assigned to those charged for committing the Armenian Genocide and the Turks killed. As noted by Dink, the Turkish people thought for a rather long period of time that the Armenian issue is long ago solved by the Treaty of Lausanne. The journal editor noted that the fact that only 50-60 thousand Armenians live in Turkey today is an outcome of Turkey’s brutal policy regarding national minorities. Answering the question why Turks decided to exterminate the Armenian population he said that the world wanted to return the indigene Armenians to the territories inhabited by them, but the Young Turks decided to massacre Armenians to avoid it and to leave the issue out of the agenda. As of the statements made in Turkey that Armenians exterminated Turks, these are consequences of the wide-scale genocide. Such actions were committed by revenge groups of Armenian, who had lost their relatives.
