    Azg/arm
    5 April 05

    A conference "The Situation of Armenians in Turkey and Ankara-Yerevan
    Relations" is to take place in Strasburg on April 11-14, Turkish
    NTV informed yesterday. This conference being organized during the
    next session of the European parliament will touch on the Armenian
    Genocide issue as well. Taner Akcam, as NTV labeled "defender of
    the Armenians' thesis and professor at the Minnesota University",
    will deliver a lecture.

    Akcam's report is titled "The Ottoman Archives as Evidence.
    Reconsidering and Reassessing Official Turkish Historiography". The
    list of reporters includes Etienne Mahchupian, columnist from Zaman
    daily and Hrant Dinq from Akos weekly. By the way, Mahchupian and
    Dinq participate today at a session in Mejlis on "Genocide claims of
    the Armenians".

    According to the NTV, Jem Ozader, Germany's Turkish-born
    representative at the European Parliament, is the initiator of the
    conference. Meanwhile, he will chair the conference. NTV also reminds
    that the European Parliament recognized the Armenian Genocide on
    June 18 of 1987 and on December 15 of 2004 with a majority of votes
    demanded Turkey "to recognize the historicity of the genocide in 1915".
