/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Some representatives of Turkish intelligentsia
urge Turkey, which seeks EU membership, follow Serbian parliament's
example, which recently condemned the 1995 killings of Bosnian Muslims
in Srebrenica and apologize to Armenians for 1915 Genocide.
The offer was advanced by Maya Arakon, assistant professor of
International Relations from Yeditepe University and Soli Ozel,
professor of International Relations and Political Science at Istanbul
Bilgi University.
According to Maya Arakon, Serbia which seeks EU membership, tries
to whitewash its past; Turkey can initiate similar steps regarding
Genocide issue.
The Armenian Genocide (1915-23) was the deliberate and systematic
destruction of the Armenian population of the Ottoman Empire during
and just after World War I. It was characterized by massacres, and
deportations involving forced marches under conditions designed to
lead to the death of the deportees, with the total number of deaths
reaching 1.5 million.
The majority of Armenian Diaspora communities were formed by the
Genocide survivors.
