Armenian Genocide
The September 23 issue of the International Herald Tribune published
the letter by Israel Charni (Israel), Gregory Stanton and Steven
Jacobs (US), genocide experts, addressed to Recep Tayyip Erdogan
in reply to the latter's claims to begin "unprejudiced researches
of the historians" over the fate of the Armenian people during the
World War I in the Ottoman Empire.
The experts emphasized in the letter that not only Armenians but also
scientists dealing with the genocide issue confirm the fact of the
Armenian genocide. They reminded in the letter that Rafael Lemkin
brought the Armenian genocide as an example when defined the term of
"genocide" in 1944.
The experts said that there can be many comments on the reasons of
the Armenian genocide but no one can deny that it took place.
The experts wrote in the end of the letter it is in the interests of
the Turkish people to recognize the Armenian Genocide.
