    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Taner Akçam, author of `A Shameful Act: The Armenian
    Genocide and the Question of Turkish Responsibility', visited the
    Armenian Catholicosate at Antelias on the 3rd of January. He has been
    one of the first Turkish intellectuals who through his publications
    and lectures has stressed the necessity of the official recognition of
    the Armenian Genocide by the Turkish Government.

    Minnesota and in 2008, he was appointed to the Chair of `Armenian
    Genocide' Studies at Clark University, Worcester, MA irrespective of
    local Turkish opposition. Four years ago, when HH Aram I was invited
    to lecture at the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's
    University in Minnesota, Dr. Akçam expressed the desire to visit the
    Catholicosate of Cilicia, a victim of the Genocide.

    giving lectures and meeting Armenian intellectuals as well as
