Turkey “Profiles” Students of Armenian Issue
In Turkey people who have ever studied the Armenian issue are
`profiled’, the Hyurriyet Daily News reported, referring to the Agos,
an Istanbul-based Armenian newspaper.
The Turkish Historical Society has requested the names, contact
information and area of study of PhD and master’s degree students from
the Higher Education Board.
Metin Hulagu, the head of the Historical Society has dismissed rumors
on lists but has confirmed that information is collected on work done.
The Hyurriyet Daily News reported that Hulagu added that in recent
years many young Turkish historians had been conducting research on
the Armenian issue, but had concerns about their future career in
Turkey because of their chosen research topic.
`The young generation of Turkish historians wants to break the
`Armenian taboo’ [in Turkey],’ he said, urging Turkey to face `the
reality’ and leave behind `100 years of denial politics.’
