YEREVAN, DECEMBER 25, ARMENPRESS: Lately Turkish columnists are frequently referring to the position of former and current Turkish governments over Armenian Genocide. This time the issue was highlighted my \u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u056a\u0093Taraf\u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u0539\u009d columnist Serdar Gaya.<\/p>\n
As reports Armenpress referring to \u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u056a\u0093Marmara\u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u0539\u009d daily, published in Istanbul, in his article Gaya has reminded that in 1915 Young Turks deported or massacred the majority of Armenians living in Anatolia eliminating thousands of Armenians living in this area for years.<\/p>\n
\u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u056a\u0093Even though year after year Anatolia\u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u0549\u0084\u00a7s Muslims lived with Armenians they very easily forgot Armenians. Armenians, as well as their villages and churches very quickly vanished from their memory,\u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u0539\u009d writes columnist. He highlights only after 1973 numerous demands on recognizing Armenian Genocide made Turkey \u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u056a\u0093remember\u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u0539\u009d its past with Armenians.<\/p>\n
\u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u056a\u0093For Turkish Armenian identity is nothing else but a political meaning formed with sense of hostility,\u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u0539\u009d Gayan writes.<\/p>\n
Columnist refers to UN Declaration on Genocide signed by Turkey in 1950, underlining that Turkish side signed the document without acknowledging the meaning of word \u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u056a\u0093genocide\u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u0539\u009d. For such a situation he accused Turkish state which \u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u056a\u0093blocked all sources of information\u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u0539\u009d.<\/p>\n
\u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u056a\u0093That is why Turkish citizens are surprised and then angry when hearing about events of 1915,\u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u0539\u009d Gayan writes, adding that reaction of Turkish residents is not surprising when facing the issue of Kurdish Genocide committed on physical or cultural territories.<\/p>\n
