    ARMENIAN HISTORIANS NOT TO ATTEND FORUM ON ALLEGED GENOCIDE

    NTV MSNBC, Turkey
    March 14 2006

    More than 50 experts from Turkey and abroad are expected to attend
    the conference organised by the Istanbul University.

    NTV-MSNBC Guncelleme: 13:31 TSİ 14 Mart 2006 SalıISTANBUL - The Dean
    of Istanbul University, Profesor Mesut Parlak, on Monday held a press
    conference to discuss the forthcoming conference on the so-called
    Armenian genocide.

    Parlak said that Armenian historians who had been invited to
    participate in the conference have rejected the invitations, with
    just one responding in a written form.

    "In the foreign press they made statement that had the aim of hurting
    our university," Parlak said.

    Parlak said that the conference, to be held between March 15 and
    17, would be the first such gatherings with a wide participation in
    Turkey. He said the conference would open up a new page on the issue.

    The meeting would bring to light many issues that were not made
    public before.

    Those who refused to take part in the conference from Turkey included
    prominent writer Orhan Pamuk, Baskın Oran, Selim Deringil and the
    chief correspondent of the Armenian paper Agos Hrant Dink.
