TURKISH PRESS DISPUTES WHO WILL BETTER PROTECT TURKEY FROM
ARMENIAN GENOCIDE CLAIMS - POLITICIANS OR HISTORIANS
YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 9. ARMINFO. It's time that we accept the fact that
Armenian claims alleging that they suffered a genocide have begun to
gain acceptance, especially in the Western world, says Turkish Daily
News.
The Armenians have been diligent with respect to their goal for the
last 75 years. They have published thousands of books and articles.
They set up departments at universities and convinced the
international front. Yet, in the long run, they won international
recognition in spite of the fact that their data were insufficient
and did not reflect the truth.
We, meanwhile, just stood watching from the sidelines. We were
pacified by mere propaganda. We felt we could elude such finger
pointing by pretending that the accusations did not exist. We
believed that the international front would sooner or later recognize
the truth. But we were mistaken. The exact opposite of what we
expected has come to pass. Yet there is now no reason to cry over
spilled milk.
And thus we are opening a new chapter. We must act in accordance with
the situation encountered and reduce our losses to a minimum at this
juncture.
