PanARMENIAN.Net – Every citizen of Turkey has a moral obligation to
the victims of the 1915 Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire, famed
Turkish writer Murathan Mungansaid.
At an Istanbul-hosted Democracy and Peace Conference, Mungan urged for
an end to denial ahead of the Genocide 100th anniversary in 2015. `Not
only Kurds and Turks, but Armenians as well live in this country. We
all have a debt to the victims of the Genocide, and we have to cover
it in 2015,’ he stressed.
The conference was initiated by Nobel laureate Orhan Pamuk and Rakel
Dink, the wife of the slain Turkish journalist or Armenian origin
Hrant Dink.
The event, which hosted representatives of Armenian, Turkish and
Kurdish intellectual elite, focused on the settlement of the Kurdish
issue as well as problems of Turkish Armenians, Agos daily said.
