An anonymous diplomat from the Turkish Embassy in Washington was
infuriated upon seeing a map of historical Armenia hanging at a
seminar called "Armenian-Turkish Protocols: Realities and Myths"
organized by the George Washington University.
According to Turkish news agency Anadolu Ajansi, the diplomat expressed
discontent when he saw that seminar organizers had hung the map on
the wall. The diplomat also complained that no one who expressed a
Turkish viewpoint on the issue had been invited to the seminar.
Speaking about the Armenian Genocide, the diplomat said that the
Turkish side had already expressed its viewpoint. But according to the
diplomat, Armenia has not responded to Turkey's offer of establishing
a joint committee of historians and opening up the archives.
Sean Murphy, a professor from the Law School of George Washington
University, saying that he had no ulterior motive for doing so,
has claimed responsibility for hanging the map at the seminar.
