RESOLUTIONS ON ARMENIAN GENOCIDE WILL NOT DO ARMENIA ANY GOOD: ERDOGAN
Tert.am
13.04.10
Turkey denies the Armenian Genocide resolutions adopted by the
parliaments of different countries, Turkish Prime Minitser Recep
Tayyip Erdogan said during a lecture at the George Mason University
in Washington after his meeting with Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan.
"Historical events should be studied by historians. The history is
not being written in the parliaments and it cannot be condemned in
the parliaments either. The realities of history will emerge in this
universities, in these academies of science. We have never avoided
discussions and are not avoiding them now either. On the contrary,
we have opened our archives, we have made our documents public and
said 'let others too open their archives.' Let the third, the forth
sides too open their archives. The call on creating a commission of
historians was made by us. In 2005 I wrote a letter to Mr [Robert]
Kocharyan. We said 'let the 1915 events be studied by historians. Let
they reveal all the details.' But our call did not get a response . No
one will benefit from condemning the history in the parliament. I am
declaring openly that the decisions adopted by parliaments will not
do Armenia any good, and cannot do so," said Erdogan.
