/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The apology campaign launched by Turkish
intellectuals can be welcomed, with some reservations, according to
an Armenian professor.
"First, the number of signatories is too small to speak of public
support to the initiative. Second, the authors of the petition did
not use term Genocide. Nevertheless, it was the initial step which
can cause a chain reaction," said Ruben Safrastyan, director of the
institute of oriental studies at the RA academy of sciences.
At that, he emphasized that the Turkish public is not afraid of the
authorities as it was several years ago.
