The world must be ready to learn the truth about the events of 1915,
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Erdogan said during a conference of
diplomats.
TRT Haber quotes him as saying that in order to understand what is
going on today, one should more often refer to history. "To forget
history is a crime," Erdogan said.
Now that the 100th year of the Armenian Genocide is near, more and
more such crucial statements are being made.
The Armenian-Turkish protocols signed in Zurich on Oct 10 2009
suggested forming a commission of independent historians. Turkey was
thereby trying to turn the Armenian Genocide into a historical issue.
But the protocols were not ratified because of Ankara's preconditions.
Turkey's official position on the Armenian Genocide is that the events
of 1915 were a result of WW1.
