    PEOPLES

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkey has called Armenia to normalize bilateral
    relations and finally solve the Armenian issue. `Historians should
    engage in statements on the Armenian Genocide. We, as authority
    representatives, will think how to create relations of friendship and
    cooperation between our peoples,' stated Turkish Foreign Minister
    Abdullah Gul. Turkey denies the accusations of mass slaughter of
    about 1.5 million of Armenian residents of the Ottoman Empire. The
    head of the Turkish Government Tayyip Erdogan lately noted that
    Ankara is ready to assume the historical responsibility for the
    Armenian issue and called to form a joint Armenian-Turkish commission
    to investigate the events of 1915. As reported by Milliyet newspaper,
    the Foreign Ministry of Turkey has sent a dispatch to its foreign
    representations, demanding to inform the leadership and the public of
    the countries of residence about the Ankara decision on readiness to
    comprehensive cooperation with Armenia, including in studying
    archives.
