Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute will open a section dedicated
to the Turks who helped Armenians during the forcible displacement
and massacres, the Turkish Radikal reported, saying it was stated
by the Museum-Institute director Hayk Demoyan at the meeting with
Turkish reporters.
Demoyan said the number of Turkish visitors of the museum has
noticeably gone up since 2008. This year the museum had 100 Turkish
visitors. "They ask how reliable the presented materials are," he said,
adding that nine out of ten visitors leave the museum convinced of
the fact of genocide. "We have a Commemoration Book and people from
Turkey have left their impressions there in Turkish. A 25-26 year
old young man studying computer technology in Istanbul university
even cried in our museum," Demoyan said.
He convinced the Turkish journalists that the museum does not describe
all the Turks as criminals. 'It is not a museum telling about history
of Armenians. It is a museum presenting memories of Armenians and
Turks,' he said.
Demoyan also said they have many documents about Turks and Muslims
that helped Armenians.
'Many Turks endangered their lives by helping Armenians. With the
decree of the Ottoman Government the Turks who would dare to help
Armenians would be hanged in front of their own homes,' Demoyan
reminded.
