Turkish society more independent than politicians
The online campaign of apology for the Armenian Genocide proves that the Turkish society is more independent than politicians, according to an expert.

"This petition, which has been already signed by over 5000 people, showed that Turks go ahead of the formal political line," Alexander Iskandaryan, director of Caucasus Institute, told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

"Such statements were inconceivable several years ago. Presently, internal processes in Turkey called forth this move," he said.
