Scholar urges Turkey to apologize for Genocide, open borders with ArmeniaApril 22, 2013 - 20:23 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - In discussing the Genocide, the Turkish issue, rather than the Armenian one must be raised, prominent historian Taner Akcam said in an interview with Zaman. “Turkish people must come to terms with their history, learn to understand and sympathize with other people’s pain. Normalization of Turkish-Armenian relations is the only answer to the problem,” the historian said, also urging Ankara to apologize for the massacres committed in 1915. “Turkey must also rid itself of Azeri pressure, which was the reason for failure to ratify Protocols with Armenia. I hope that Turkey, which took brave steps in the Kurdish issue, will be as brave in the Genocide recognition,” the historian stressed.
