[March 21, 2005, 20:01:36]
Chairman of the Turkic History Vagf, professor Yusuf Halacoglu,
in his interview to the "Milliyyet" newspaper said they would send
the historical documents on the events happened in 1915-1919 in the
Ottoman state to the United Nations. At his words, all the documents
are based on the facts and figures related to number of the Armenians
and Turks involved in the armed conflicts.
The documents include archives of the Ottoman state, as well as
England, France, Germany and the United States. The Archives prove that
in 1915, in the Ottoman State only 100 thousands Armenian have died
as a result of the armed conflicts, diseases and other reasons. Along
with that, in 1915-1919, in the territory of Ottoman, 519 thousands of
Turk were killed. In 1921, out of the exiled Armenians, 644 thousand
900 Armenian have returned to Turkey. The rest have moved to Syria,
France, USA, Greece, Russia, Iran and other countries.
Te policy of exile was not applied towards all the Armenians,
professor Yusuf Halacoglu said. Many Armenians held high positions
in the government, served in the army and engaged in trade at that
time. In this case, it is impossible any "genocide". On the contrary,
if there was "genocide", it was committed by the Armenians against
the Turks.
