Turkey’s stance fails to bring justice to the millions of genocide
victims, Australian scholar says

Turkey has condemned a move by the NSW Parliament to recognize as
genocide Armenian, Assyrian and Greek deaths while Turkey was under
Ottoman rule.

The Turkish Consul General in Sydney Gulseren Celik says it’s not up
to individual governments to pass judgment on historical events that
occurred outside of Australia.

Professor Vrasidas Karalis of the University of Sydney said Turkey’s
stance fails to bring justice to the millions of victims, Neos Kosmos
reports.

`Who is going to bring some justice and closure to the victims and the
descendants of the victims?’ he asked.

`I think Turkey at this very moment, with its very sterile rejection
of every allegation, evolves into a sort of mythmaking process for the
state instead of looking to the past with a fair and honest
appreciation of what happened.’
