/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The outcome of the public apology for the Armenian
Genocide has exceeded expectation, reports Der Standard, an Austrian
national daily newspaper.

"Some 2000 thousand people joined the campaign within initial 2
hours. The figure exceeded 8 thousand by the end of the day. This
proves that majority of Turkish intellectuals disagree with the state
policy on the issue," the article says.

Initiators of an anti-campaign that kicked off in Tuesday accuse
Turkish scholars of treason.
