TURKISH SCIENTIST: "WE STATE PUBLICLY: ARMENIAN GENOCIDE TOOK PLACE"

PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkish scientist, professor of Michigan University Muge Gocek, who participated in the scientific conference entitled "The Consequences of the Armenian Genocide: 90 years later" held in Los Angeles April 1-3, apologized to the Armenian people during his speech, Yerkir online reports. In Gocek's words, Turks do no know history and they are not told what really happened. That is why the Turkish people are convinced that there was no genocide. However not all the Turks are ignorant, she noted. "We are not afraid not arrest and we state in everyone's hearing: yes, the Armenian Genocide really took place", the scientist stated. Despite the fact that the Turkish government does not make any steps to reconciliation, the issue of the Armenian Genocide recognition can be settled within 5-10 years.
