PanARMENIAN.Net - The grandson of Cemal Pasha, one of the masterminds
of the Armenian Genocide issued a book titled `1915: The Armenian
Genocide.'
The news was first reported by Istanbul-based Agos weekly and
confirmed by journalist Yavuz Baidar on Twitter.
`Armenians in Turkey were Russia-oriented and Turks had to kill them.
That's why the Genocide happened,' Hasan Cemal quotes his grandfather
as saying in Munich in 1919.
Cemal is columnist at Milliyet newspaper. In 2008, he visited the
Armenian Genocide memorial in Yerevan. His note in the memory book
says: `To deny the Genocide would mean to be an accomplice in this
crime against humanity.'
Ahmed Cemal Pasha was killed in Tbilisi in July 1922 by Stepan
Dzaghigian, Artashes Gevorgyan and Petros Ter Poghosyan as part of
Operation Nemesis for his role in the Armenian Genocide. His remains
were brought to Erzerum and buried there.
