PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkey is becoming apprehensive over political
discussions on the Armenian Genocide, a Turkologist believes.
As Ruben Melkonyan told PanARMENIAN.Net commenting on the statement
of Turkish journalist Enver Aysever, suggesting that in 2015, UN will
recognize the Genocide, "the decision may necessitate return of lands
and compensation to Genocide survivors," the expert said.
"Turkey's worries loom large as Genocide's 100th anniversary nears,"
the expert noted.
"At present, Turkey is using several ways to struggle against
Genocide recognition campaign. Ankara attempts to split the Diaspora
and weaken its ties with Armenia, thus hindering Diaspora's struggle
for Genocide recognition.
Another measure Ankara resorted to is dissemination of anti-Armenian
materials in scientific community," the expert said, noting that
Turkey is actively working to succeed in the two directions mentioned.
