December 24, 2011 - 15:42 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Yerevan must open its historical archives for the
study of 1915 events, Turkish Foreign Minister said.
`We've repeatedly expressed readiness to study the events of 1915,
expecting Armenia to open its historical archives as well,' Ahmet
Davutoglu said.
As opposed to Ankara, which keeps its archives closed to both
foreigners and Turkish citizens, Armenia's archives are open for those
interested to study them.
On the sidelines of Armenian-Turkish rapprochement, formation of a
joint historical committee was planned to study 1915 events in Ottoman
Empire. Armenia, however, disagreed, stressing the historical fact of
Genocide is unquestionable.
