Turkey represents common grave of Armenians killed in 1915 as old Roman pantheon
Last October a burial place of the Armenian Genocide victims was discovered in the southwest of Turkey, near the town of Madrin. Turkish government failed to conceal the fact and Nokta magazine and some Kurdish news agencies of Europe spread photos of the common grave.
The Soderton University, Sweden, has insisted on investigation of the site. April 24 university professor David Gaunt accompanied by Yusuf Halacoglu, the President of the Turkish Association of Historians, arrived at the burial place and upon examining it refused to collaborate with the Turkish historians. The cemetery was dug up, skulls and bones, which could be the evidence of murders, disappeared.
When the Turkish historian tried to represent the grave as an old Roman pantheon, the Swedish scientist said he clearly sees that the cemetery has been recently dug over. He refused to take the samples of the soil and fragments of bones, the Armenian Public Television reports.
