WESTERN ARMENIANS SEND LETTER TO GUL
01:54 pm | Today | Politics
The representatives of the Assembly of Armenians of Western Armenia
have sent a letter to President of Turkey Abdullah Gul, demanding
him to officially recognize the ongoing crime committed against the
Armenians and their civilization by the Ottoman, Young Turks and
Kemal governments from 1894 to 1923.
The authors of the letter underlined that the Armenian Genocide had
begun with the 1894 massacres in Sasun. The authors present the
Armenian Genocide in three stages, including the Hamid massacres
(1894-1896), as well as the massacres planned and perpetrated by the
Young Turks in Adana (1909) and the massacres planned and perpetrated
by the Young Turk and Kemal governments (1915-23).
In the letter, the authors demand that the government of the Republic
of Turkey fully recognize the genocide planned and perpetrated at the
state level from 1894 to 1923 based on legal and historical documents
from the archives.
