    Armenia Arrests Turkish Researcher Studying on Armenian past


    Yektan Turkyilmaz, the first Turkish researcher to receive a
    permission to study Armenian international archives, has been
    arrested at the Yerevan Airport. Turkyilmaz is accused by Armenia of
    attempting to take history books to Turkey.

    Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan had called Armenia and Tashnaks
    to open their archives. Turkish Ottoman archives have been opened for
    the decades to all researchers from all over the world.

    Armenia has resisted to open its archives. It is also argued that the
    Tashnasks archives in the US contain vital documents about the 1915
    events, Armenian immigrations and Tashnak-Nazi collaborations.
