/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Proposing to from a commission of historians, Turkey
knew that it will be rejected because Yerevan doesn't question the
fact of the Armenian Genocide.
"Ankara just wanted the international community to see that Yerevan
refuses to discuss this tragedy. It was nothing but an information
challenge," Hayk Demoyan, director of the Armenian Genocide museum
told a news conference in Yerevan.
In 2005, then-President of Armenia Robert Kocharian rejected Turkish
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's proposal to form a commission
of historians to study the fact of the Armenian Genocide.
"If Turkey really wanted a fair study it would not persecute
historians, journalists and writers under the article 301," Demoyan
said.
