/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Many Turks could not believe that the Armenian
Genocide really took place. During formation of the Republic all
kept silent and wished to forget what had happened, Turkish writer,
musician and MP Zulfu Livaneli said.

"Armenians’ tragedy is a part of a greater debate Turks had to start
to discern the truth. The discussions of this issue are more important
than the pressure exerted on Turkey to acknowledge responsibility
for the Armenian Genocide," Livaneli said, Marmara newspaper reports.

Some Turkish media describe Livaneli as ‘second Orhan Pamuk’.
