Karo Paylan, the Armenian deputy of the Kurdish People’s Democratic Party of Turkey, addressed a written question to the president’s assistant, Fuat Oktay, regarding the location of the trial documents against the Young Turks for the crimes committed against the Armenian people in 1919-1922.


As reported by the Armenian “Agos” of Istanbul, Caro Paylan, reminding that in his scandalous statement of April 24, Erdogan spoke about the openness of Turkish archives, Karo Paylan emphasized that many scholars were not provided with the archive documents related to the trial of the Young Turks in 1919-1922 accused of committing a crime against the Armenian people.


The following was emphasized in Paylan’s questioning:


1. Are the documents related to the court case in the archive?


2. When did the documents of the mentioned court case enter the archive, when and in which department were they found?


3. If the claims that the trial documents are missing or inaccessible are not true, where are they now?


4. How can researchers “who want to know the truth” get the mentioned documents?


It should be noted that the Turkish court found the officials who organized the Armenian Genocide guilty and sentenced them to various punishments.
