    Aslan: According To Official Figures, About Ten Thousand Turkish
    People Had Been Massacred By Armenians In Erzurum

    Anadolu Agency: 1/29/2005
    ERZURUM (AA) - Documents about massacres committed by the Armenians
    against Turkish people in eastern city of Erzurum and adjacent areas
    between the years of 1918 and 1920 were compiled by Assistant Prof.
    Betul Aslan of Ataturk University in a book entitled ''Armenian
    Events in Erzurum''.
    The book includes a brief history of Armenians in Anatolia,
    documents about massacres committed by Armenians, results of
    excavations in the city, testimonies of those who witnessed the
    massacres, and recollections of Russian, German and American
    officials in the region such as Russian officer Tverdo Khlebov,
    Russian nurse Tatyana Karameli, German journalist Paul Wietz and
    former Council of Germany in Erzurum Edgar Andres.
    In an interview with the A.A, Aslan said, ''Armenians have been
    doing everything in their power to keep their baseless allegations
    high on world's agenda. There was not any single document proving
    their allegations about such a genocide.''
    ''But, Armenian gangs committed massacres in Erzurum after
    Russian soldiers withdrew from the city. According to official
    figures, about 10 thousand Turkish people were killed by Armenians in
    Erzurum. However, unofficial figures gave the number of slain people
    as 50 thousand,'' she added.
