The history of Turkish-Armenian relations, beginning from the start
of the Middle Ages to the present, is to be summarized in a 35-volume
compilation by the Turkish History Institution in cooperation with
a range of academic historians.
The compilation will be entitled "Turks and Armenians in History"
and will be composed of articles by 350 academics, Professor Mehmet
Metin Hulagu, president of the Turkish History Institution, told
Anadolu Agency on Tuesday.
He said there were many questions, especially regarding the incidents
of 1915, to which the compilation would give answers.
Hulagu said the compilation will be completed by April 2015 in order
to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the relocation of Turkish
Armenians during World War I.
Condolences offered
At that time, when a portion of the Armenian population living in
the Ottoman Empire sided with invading Russians and rose up against
the Ottoman authority, Ottoman-era officials decided to relocate the
Armenians living in eastern Anatolia.
The Armenian diaspora and the state of Armenia have described the
incidents as "genocide" and asked for compensation, while Turkey says
that even though Armenians died during the relocation, many Turks
were also killed in attacks carried out by Armenian gangs.
Last month, Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan offered his
condolences for the deaths of Armenians during the incidents of 1915.
