Remember the Armenian dead
Thursday 1 May 2014
The Independent should be commended for taking the lead in lifting the
fog of misinformation and feeble rationale offered by successive
British governments defending the idea that present-day Turkey has
nothing to answer for over the genocide of Armenians by Ottoman Turkey
during the First World War (`The Turkish Holocaust begins', 29 April).
The centenary commemoration will be on 24 April 2015. The recent
turn-around by Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the Prime Minister of Turkey, in
offering sympathies to the Armenians for their dead undercuts the
basis for the British Government's support for Turkish denialism.
