MOSCOW. - It is high time for the Turkish Government to publish
documents on the Young Turks and the events which happened during the
Armenian Genocide, Russian experts said during Moscow-Yerevan space
bridge on Wednesday.
Director of the Institute of Political and Social Researches of the
Black Sea and Caspian Region Vladimir Zakharov said that before the
historic decision was made by the French Senate, a large group of
Russian intellectuals sent a message to the Turkish PM Recep Tayyip
Erdogan.
"The Young Turks relied on marginal groups of the population. Trying to
cheat them and hiding behind the slogans of pan-Turkism and Islam, they
established a system exterminating the working population, including
Armenians, Greeks, Assyrians who were perceived as competitors. While
real Turks, officials or common people tried to help victims of
violence," the message written by Russian intellectuals reads.
It is high time for the Turkish Government to publish documents
reflecting the real face of the Young Turks, Zakharov said.
In his turn, expert at the Institute of Political and Social Studies of
the Black Sea and Caspian Region Andrey Areshev said that the Turkish
archives have lots of documents on how the 1915 events were organized.
"It is possible to understand who and how got prepared for the
genocide of the Armenian population while studying the documents,"
Areshev said adding that research will not damage current Turkey's
image as it bears nor relation to the events.
