    Yerevan (Yerkir) - Intellectuals from Turkey and Armenia are set to
    gather in the Turkish capital on the anniversary of the 1915 killings
    of Armenians during the last days of the Ottoman Empire.

    Turkish and Armenian intellectuals will meet in Ankara on April 24
    and 25 to discuss the events of 1915 and attempt to improve dialogue
    between the two nations in an event organized by the Ankara Freedom
    of Thought Initiative.

    Participants in the forum will talk about the events leading up to
    the 1915 Genocide as well as its political implications. Topics of
    discussion are set to include "The Armenian issue from a historical
    perspective," "From [the Committee of] Union and Progress to
    Kemalism - official ideological denial and termination of the issue,"
    "The Turkification of the capital" and "The Armenian issue: How to
    handle it?"
