Turkish Historical Society launches project on Armenian issue
Sakarya, 10 June 2010: Turkish Historical Society is working on a
project on Armenian problem in which nearly 300 academicians from
different countries will participate.
The project on "Turkey-Armenia relations in history and Armenian
problem" will cluster more than 500 research papers and articles.
The project is expected to be made up of 20 volumes. The project team
aims to create the most comprehensive resource on Armenian problem.
Professor Enis Sahin from Armenian Studies of Turkish Historical
Society, head of the project team, said Thursday that the project had
been announced in 2009. He said scholars from several countries such
as Azerbaijan, Italy, France, United States, Brazil, Argentina, Chile,
Georgia and Armenia would be involved in the project.
"When we first started this project, we thought it would be comprised
of 5,000-6,000 pages," Sahin said.
"Now it seems to be a set of books of nearly 20 volumes each with 600
or 700 pages. It will become an encyclopedia," he added.
The set will include extensive information starting from early ages of
Armenian history, and it will also feature several other periods of
Armenian history, such as the Byzantine, Seljuk and Ottoman periods,
as well as Armenian migration, Armenian diaspora and lobbying.
Enis Sahin said the encyclopedia would be published in 2011 in
response to Armenian preparation for 2015, the 100th anniversary of
the incidents of 1915.
