"Tsitsernakabert" and laid flowers on the eternal flame, Hayk Demoyan,
Director of the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute, told
He said the delegation comprised 15 Turkish journalists representing
CNN Turk, Hurriyet, Hurriyet daily news, Milliyet, Sabah, Aksam,
Referans, and Taraf. Demoyan said the Turkish journalists visited
also the Genocide Museum and then participated in the question-answer
session. "Turkish media did not explain the reason of their visit,
but displayed high interest to the history and the future activity of
the Museum as well as the events scheduled for the centennial of the
Armenian Genocide," Demoyan said. He said the Turkish journalists were
also interested in the questions to be raised at the subcommission on
the historical dimension set forth in the Armenian-Turkish Protocols,
as well as possible joint measures with participation of Armenian
institutes and Diaspora. H. Demoyan took a positive view of the
visit by Turkish journalists who are responsible for public opinion
in Turkey. "I told them that the museum is part of the history of
both Armenia and Turkey. I expressed hope that when establishing
inter-state relations, it will be possible to conduct joint events.
They were surprised but I was very serious since it is part of
the Turkish history and Turkey must resign itself to that fact,
Demoyan said.
