Istanbul, 13 March: Istanbul University Rector Prof Mesut Parlak
held an informative meeting about the symposium on "New Approaches
to Turkish-Armenian Relations" which will be held at the university
on 15-17 March.
Stating that this symposium would be the most comprehensive one with
70 participants from Turkey and some other countries, Parlak underlined
that it would reveal the truths regarding Turkish-Armenian relations.
Parlak said that 1915 incidents [during which the Ottomans allegedly
engaged in genocide against Armenians] had several dimensions -
military, social and psychological - stating that the matter would
be discussed from a scientific point of view.
"I believe that the symposium will help a new period be started in
Turkish-Armenian relations," he underlined.
Parlak noted that the university invited Armenian historians to the
symposium, but they said that they would not attend.
