The total of 86 Turkish scholars welcomed an appeal by 53 Nobel
laureates calling for tolerance, contact and cooperation between
Turks and Armenians.
The appeal issued in April called on Turks and Armenians to encourage
their governments to open the Turkish-Armenian border, generate
confidence through civil society cooperation, improve official
contacts, to allow basic freedoms and to address the gap in perceptions
over the alleged genocide of Armenians at the hands of the Ottoman
Empire. "We would like to state that we are willing to do our part
to make positive contributions to this end," said the Turkish scholars.
"We view this call as a doorway to opening a process of dialogue
between Turks and Armenians and as a stepping stone which will work to
keep that door open, facilitating the culture of peace to bear fruit,"
a group of 86 Turkish scholars, writers and retired ambassadors said.
