    Mr Recep Marasli (first on the left), a member of the Initiation for
    the Dialog and Solidarity with the Victims of the Genocide,
    headquartered in Berlin, Germany, who recently published a book
    entitled `Armenian national democratic movements and 1915 Genocide',
    is visiting Yerevan.

    Expert in regional problems Sargis Hatspanyan told journalists on
    Friday that the author's mother is a Kurdish woman and father is a
    Turk. He spent years in Turkish prisons as a political prisoner.

    `He wrote his book after being released. Not to be imprisoned again he
    left Turkey for Germany,' Mr Hatspanyan said.

    Mr Marasli noted that he founded the organization in cooperation with
    other Kurdish intellectuals. The only aim is to make the Kurdish
    people face its own history. `We are aware of our forefathers'
    involvement in the Armenian Genocide. The issue of the Armenian
    Genocide is a social problem, and each one bears his responsibility,'
    he said.

    Mr Marasli stressed the importance of a dialogue over the issue. `I
    want Armenians and Kurds, their organizations to conduct a dialogue,'
    he said.
