YEREVAN, OCTOBER 25, ARMENPRESS. The Turkish society and intellectuals
do not stop talking about the photograph published in British the
Independent by Robert Fisk, where are depicted Turkish and German
soldiers proudly standing by the human skulls.
As reports "Armenpress" columnist of Turkish Radikal review Ezgi
Basaran talked about this photograph published in the British magazine
and focused on the events of the Armenian Genocide in 1915. Basaran
mentioned that the participation of the German side in the Genocide
must still be examined.
The Turkish columnist writes: "My viewpoint on this question is clear.
The Germans could prevent the Genocide, as the Turkish army was in the
orbit of influence of Germany in that period. Turkish Ottoman Empire
initiated the Genocide and the German side provided the ideological
support."
The author of the article in the Independent Robert Fisk mentioned
that this photograph, which has never been published before, can
be probably dated to the summer of 1915. The Independent writes the
following about the photograph: "Human skulls are scattered over the
earth. They are all that remain of a handful of Armenians slaughtered
by the Ottoman Turks during the First World War. Behind the skulls,
posing for the camera, are three Turkish officers in tall. But the
two other men are Germans, both dressed in the military flat caps,
belts and tunics of the Kaiserreichsheer, the Imperial German Army. And
another man is standing on the far right, who is dressed in Kurdish
clothes. It is an atrocity snapshot - just like those pictures the
Nazis took of their soldiers posing before Jewish Holocaust victims
a quarter of a century later."
