/PanARMENIAN.Net/ A group of Turkish diplomats slammed academics,
writers and journalists for their internet campaign of public apology
to Armenians for the Genocide at the hands of the Ottoman Empire.
Some 60 retired diplomats and ambassadors issued Monday a response
saying the campaign is "unfair, wrong and unfavorable for the national
interests."
"Such incorrect and one-sided attempt would mean disrespecting our
history and betraying our people who lost their lives in the violent
attacks of the terror organizations in the final days of the Ottoman
Empire, as well as after, during the formation of the Republic,"
the statement says, Hurriyet Daily News reports.
