The Turkish Historical Society (TTK) presented its latest publication on the Armenians, prepared by 350 scholars and entitled “Turks and Armenians in history.”
The Chairman of the TTK Dr. Metin Hülagü said that the book was about “solidarity Turks and Armenians.”
“The book discusses the unity of Turks and Armenians. The combat is a last resort in our culture. The recent statement by Prime Minister [on the events of 1915] also highlights the humanitarian sentiments, “said Hülagü.
He added that the Armenian historians have not been included in the book, despite the fact that the TTK had appealed for their participation.
“We announced to the world that we were preparing this book and the documents were accepted. But we did not have contributions from abroad. We have not been able to receive the contribution of all Armenians, “said Hülagü.
Lack of time
He suggested that a “lack of time” could be a reason for the lack of foreign participation in their project.
The book of 10 volumes of TTK includes articles with titles including “Armenians of the First Age and the Middle Ages”, “The culture of living together”, “socio-economic”, “Armenians in areas rural and urban “,” Population and Migration “,” The Armenian population and the Church “,” missionary activities, “The emergence of the Armenian Question” and “foreign countries.”
A document entitled “The mission of the church taking the Armenian issue to the international agenda,” argues that the Armenian Church has played an important role in the realization of the Armenian question and the question genocide to the attention of the international community.
