The experts of nonprofit research and policy institute -- European
Stability Initiative (ESI), Diba Nigar Göksel and Gerald Knaus issued
a report on Armenia-Turkey relations, Turkish Sunday's Zaman reports.
The experts reckon that Turkey and Armenia have a chance for debate
to go forward.
"There are hardly any reputable scholars in the field of genocide
studies who doubt that what happened to the Armenians in 1915
constitutes Genocide.
However, it is also clear that modern-day Turkey is not legally
responsible for genocidal acts committed nearly a century ago, and
that acknowledging the genocide would not bring into question the
established Turkish-Armenian border," says the report "Noah's Dove
Returns: Armenia, Turkey and the Debate on Genocide" head.
Interviewed by Sunday's Zaman, Goksel expressed his surprise at the
proportion of the Armenians who came from different places in Turkey.
"Probably 80 percent of the people I met in Armenian villages in the
middle of nowhere would be from [the eastern Turkish provinces of]
Mus, Diyarbakır, etc. that made me see the magnitude of the problem,"
he said
Speaking about border opening, Gokseluld underlined that "it would
be a victory for any Armenian politician to preside over the opening
of the border."
