UNESCO CENSORS ARCHIVE DOCUMENTS OF OTTOMAN EMPIRE
Yerevan, JUne 12. ArmInfo. The exhibition of archive documents of
Ottoman Turkey to be held last week in Paris has been put off because
UNESCO has censored some of the documents.
Zaman reports UNESCO to ask Turkey to remove 5 and to replace 2 of 50
documents. The source says that the documents are "friendly letters"
sent by representatives of the Armenian community of Turkey to the
Turkish Sultan in 1889 and 1895. UNESCO says that these documents may
"cause the anger" of the Armenian community of France.
Other sources say that UNESCO demanded this because the documents
were obviously faked.
