TURKISH STATE AFRAID OF ARMENIAN GENOCIDE RECOGNITION BECAUSE OF DAY OF RECKONING

YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 11, ARMENPRESS. Turkey's decision to declare the
day of the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide as the day of
commemoration of the Battle of Gallipoli, which aims to change the
topic of international discussion, is nothing else, but a tool of
denialist policy. Turkish young historian Mehmet Polatel stated this
in a conversation with "Armenpress". Also, the young historian noted
that this policy of the Turkish government is "unacceptable for him
and other Turkish intellectuals".
The Turkish scientist arrived in Armenia to deliver a lecture titled
"The Confiscation of the Armenians' Property during the Genocide and
after It".
Among other things, Mehmet Polatel underscored: "One of the reasons
of the Genocide denial is the issue of returning the confiscated
properties. It's characteristic not only for the state thinking, but
the common people, who possess the Armenians' properties, also think
that if the state recognizes the Armenian Genocide, the Armenians
will come and take their belongings away. That's why the Turkish
society is also against the recognition."
