Ninety-eight years after more than 250 Armenian intellectuals were
sent to death in Constantinople on April 24, 1915, the descendants
of perpetrators of the Armenian Genocide are in Armenia to apologize
for the crime committed by their grandfathers.
About 10 Turkish intellectuals visited the Armenian Genocide Memorial
on April 24 to pay tribute to the memory of the innocent victims. Ali
Sait Cetinoglu is the founder of the Free University system of Turkey,
which publishes brochures presenting the real and undistorted history
to the Turkish society.
At a meeting with Armenians today the Turkish intellectual shared
his pain for the greatest crime of the 20th century and said it was
an honor for him to stand in front of representatives of a nation,
which survived the great calamity and thrived.
"I have devoted my live to revealing that evil. I declare we must
not believe the masks of the Turkish authorities and their calls for
friendship between the two nations. What we should believe in is their
actions," the Turkish intellectual said and addressed a question to
all attendees: "Have you asked the Turkish intellectuals you met before
where their grandfathers were in 1915? Will you ask from now on?"
