"I confess that during my military activity I witnessed torturing
scenes of pursue and bloody, severe slaughter, which was carried out
by our soldiers against the deported Armenians in the region of Aleppo
during the World War I. I am greatly sorry for those inhuman acts,
which is improper for our state and nation. I strongly condemn those
people from Unity and Progress Party who were responsible for those
tortures at that time and ordered the annihilation. Deaths of hundreds
of thousands of Armenians is on their conscious, while we could have
lived in peace with those Armenians and be happy. Our leaders in
authority committed a crime, which has no forgiveness. They must be
imprisoned and sentenced severely, in order not to mix guilty Turks
with innocent ones and that future generations knew it and did not
forget. Those generations have the responsibility to clear the black
page of our history. Thus, I call the two nations to live together
in peace and security," reads the testimony.
