YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 4, ARMENPRESS. The issue of the Islamized Armenians
got a public reaction for the first time within the framework of the
international conference held in Istanbul. The conference entitled
"Islamized Armenians" launched at Bogazici University in Istanbul
on November 2, continues its activities convened by "Hrant Dink"
fund. Representatives from scientific regions of the United States of
America, Europe, Armenia and Turkey participate in the conference. The
editor of the Armenian section of "Agos" newspaper Sargis Serobyan
told in a conversation with Armenpress that a conference having such
a theme and scale is organized in Turkey for the first time. "A wide
conference devoted to the issue of the Islamized Armenians has not been
held till now, which would enable both scientists and ordinary people
from different parts of the world to participate," Serobyan stated.
According to him, the conference having around 300 participants is
first of all a step to understand and introduce the difficulties
faced by the Islamized Armenians, their consequences, as well as
to investigate and discuss the layers of silence existing upon this
issue and the process of violating that silence. By the assessment
of Serobyan, the holding of the conference shows that there is slow
but certain process towards democracy in Turkey.
