British "Times Higher Education" has published an article about
Armenian Genocide which is titled "Can we know the truth about
Armenian Genocide?"
"The editor-in-chief of "Agos" daily Hrant Dink was murdered in Turkey
in 2007 as he was holding a long lasting campaign against Turkish
denial of Armenian Genocide. Before Dink's assassination he was sued
for "criticizing the Turks". Turkish writer, Nobel Prize holder Orhan
Pamuk was also sued for the same issue. Now many scientists say those
who deny Armenian Genocide are corrupted by Turkish Foreign Ministry,"
writes the paper.
Taner Akcam, a professor of Clark University in Massachusetts, has
declared during Bucharest-hosted conference on Armenian Genocide that
he has received phone calls from anonymous sources that scientists
were corrupted to deny Armenian Genocide.
"If anybody works on the issue of Armenian Genocide, he/she can lost
the job. This is the reason why many scientists don't use genocide
term. If I plan to live Turkey, I cannot find any job there,"
Akcam said.
"If Turkey opens Armenian-Turkish border and normalizes relations with
Armenia, it will positively impact on studies of Armenian Genocide,"
said Akcam.
