/PanARMENIAN.Net/ A Turkish historian said that Armenian people could
be surprised if they saw World War I-era archives of both Turkey
and Armenia.
Professor Kemal Cicek, head of Armenian Researches Desk of Turkish
Historical Society, said Turkey had nothing to fear and Turkish
historians were ready to discuss anything regarding the incidents
of 1915.
"Mr. Prime Minister said in his letter that Turkey would not oppose
to outcomes of studies conducted by this commission even if they
could support Armenian allegations," Cicek said.
"This commission would be the only place that Turkey could defend
itself," he said.
Turkey sees it as a chance, said Cicek, adding that Armenian officials
were unaware of archives neither in Turkey nor in Armenia. "I am sure
that they will see very significant documents that could surprise
them," he said. "Armenians can bring to table anything that could
justify their views. We are ready to discuss everything including the
period before and after the incidents of 1915 or abandoned Armenian
assets", Anatolian news agency reported.
