/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Armenian Genocide issue is painful for Turkey
and the Turkish public should be aware of all the facts regarding
these tragic events, Co-chair of the Turkish-Armenian Business
Development Council (TABDC) Kaan Soyak told a news conference in
Yerevan. According to him, next year the Turkish Ministry of Education
intends to include that historical period in the curriculum. "The
Azeri lobby, that doesn't wish normalization of the Armenian-Turkish
relations, hampers the issue badly alleging the unsettlement of the
Nagorno Karabakh conflict," noted he.
At that Mr Soyak underscored that presently the Turkish government
takes moves for the establishment of dialogue between the two
states and furnished the example of reconstruction of the Akhtamar
Armenian Church. "The Ministry of Culture and Tourism has addressed
an invitation to Armenian Minister of Culture Hasmik Poghosyan to
take part in the opening ceremony of the Church of Saint Cross on
Akhtamar. We are planning to continue reconstruction of Armenian
historical churches," Soyak underscored.
