Opinion
TURKEY NOT READY TO BE MORE VIRTUOUS
"I think we are unwisely misusing the Genocide of
1915. Maybe we have a goal today - to make Turkey and
the Turks to accept responsibility for that bloody
page of their history - that is gradually coming true.
Also, to make them understand what was done and then
go forward," Armen Darbinian, rector of Slavonic
University, former prime minister, said about the
Armenian Genocide at the yesterday's meeting with
students.
The rector said that our longing to see a Turkey that
has recognized the Genocide is conditioned by the fact
that we want to see it cleaner, better and more
virtuous. But to achieve that they have to be
prepared. "This is perhaps a good aim but I think we
have a more important aim - we have to become more
truthful," the rector said.
