A workshop on the Armenian Genocide will be held at the University of Potsdam in Germany on September 14-17.
Four institutions – the University of Michigan (the United States), Lepsiushaus Potsdam (Potsdam, Germany), the USC Institute of Armenian Studies (Los Angeles, U.S.) and the Sabancı University (Istanbul, Turkey) – will participate in the 4-day event.
Titled “Workshop on Turkish-Armenian Scholarships (WATS) 2017 – European Approaches to the Armenian Genocide”, the event seeks to shed light on the murder of 1.5 million Armenians in the Ottoman Empire between 1915-1923.
Some three dozen countries, hundreds of regional government bodies and international organizations have so far recognized the Armenian Genocide. Turkey denies to this day.
