HISTORIANS FROM ARMENIA DIDN'T TAKE PART IN CONFERENCE SPONSORED BY ANTI-ARMENIAN ORGANIZATIONS

YEREVAN, JUNE 6, ARMENPRESS. Armenian historians didn't find it
necessary to take part in the conference sponsored by Turkish and
Azerbaijani anti-Armenian organizations. The reason is the mismatch
in the invitation sent earlier and format of the conference.
The fourth conference of turkology program of Turkish Yuta
University lunched in Tbilisi, capital of Georgia, on June 5. 10-15
Armenian historians from Armenia and Diaspora were invited to the
conference. Key scientific worker of the Institute of Archaeology
and Ethnology of the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of
Armenia Tigran Sarukhanyan, who turned down the invitation to take
part in the aforesaid conference, mentioned in a conversation with
"Armenpress" that Armenian historians refused to participate in the
apparently anti-Armenian, politicized conference, which does not
meet scientific-academic standards, preferring not to waste their
time and use it more efficiently.
In accordance with the present information, Ara Papyan - the head of
the center "Modus Vivendi" centre, is the only historian from Armenia,
who is taking part in the abovementioned conference. In Sarukhanyan"s
opinion the conference evidently has a political guidance, moreover,
a number of works, which are scheduled to be introduced at the
course of the conference, do not meet the standards of scientific
discussions. "Certain works have been presented on the massacre of
Azerbaijanis by Armenians in 1918, whereas there is no such a fact
recorded in the history of mankind," the historian underscored.
Among other things he noted that since 2004 certain academic circles
recognizing the Armenian Genocide have put forward a suggestion to
study the genocide in the light of a fresh scientific approach. One
of the organizers of the conference Professor Hakan Yavuz made such
proposal in November 2012. "Hence, it was initially planned that the
discussions would not seek political or propagandistic objectives,
they were meant to be exclusively scientific, but as a matter of fact
the conference taking place these says has deviated from its original
aim," Sarukhanyan highlighted.
