Some representatives of Turkish intelligentsia urge Turkey, which seeks EU membership, follow Serbian parliament’s example, which recently condemned the 1995 killings of Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica and apologize to Armenians for 1915 Genocide.

The offer was advanced by Maya Arakon, assistant professor of International Relations from Yeditepe University and Soli Özel, professor of International Relations and Political Science at Istanbul Bilgi University.

According to Maya Arakon, Serbia which seeks EU membership, tries to whitewash its past; Turkey can initiate similar steps regarding Genocide issue.
