Scholar: Turkey’s rejection of genocide evolves into mythmaking processMay 22, 2013 - 15:16 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkey has ‘condemned’ a move by the New South Wales Parliament to recognize as genocide the Armenian, Assyrian and Greek deaths during the Ottoman rule, the Assyrian International News Agency reported. The Turkish Consul General in Sydney Gulseren Celik said “it's not up to individual governments to pass judgment on historical events that occurred outside of Australia.” Meanwhile, professor Vrasidas Karalis of The University of Sydney said Turkey's stance fails to bring justice to the millions of victims. "Who is going to bring some justice and closure to the victims and the descendants of the victims?" he said. "I think Turkey at this very moment, with its very sterile rejection of every allegation, evolves into a sort of mythmaking process for the state instead of looking to the past with a fair and honest appreciation of what happened."
