Writer: every Turkish citizen has moral obligation to Genocide victimsMay 26, 2013 - 15:36 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Every citizen of Turkey has a moral obligation to the victims of the 1915 Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire, famed Turkish writer Murathan Mungan said. At an Istanbul-hosted Democracy and Peace Conference, Mungan urged for an end to denial ahead of the Genocide 100th anniversary in 2015. “Not only Kurds and Turks, but Armenians as well live in this country. We all have a debt to the victims of the Genocide, and we have to cover it in 2015,” he stressed. The conference was initiated by Nobel laureate Orhan Pamuk and Rakel Dink, the wife of the slain Turkish journalist or Armenian origin Hrant Dink. The event, which hosted representatives of Armenian, Turkish and Kurdish intellectual elite, focused on the settlement of the Kurdish issue as well as problems of Turkish Armenians, Agos daily said.
