MosJan Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION HINDERS ZARAKOLOU PARTICIPATE IN YEREVAN CONFERENCE Many prominent scholars, public and political figures from various countries of the world and Diaspora have been invited to "Ultimate Crime, Ultimate Challenge. Genocide and Human Rights" conference that launched in Yerevan on April 20. The representatives of Turkey are invited, as well. Professor Basken Oran, from the Faculty of Political Science of the Ankara University, and Professor Murad Belgen, from the Literature Faculty of the Istanbul University, participated in the conference, while Racep Zarakolou, well-known publisher and public figure, was absent. It turned out that he didn’t manage to arrive in Yerevan because he initiated the translated publication of another work by an Armenian author about the Armenian Genocide In Istanbul. The Public Prosecutor’s Office began a preliminary investigation for the publication and questioned Zarakolou, depriving him of the opportunity to participate in the Yerevan conference dedicated to the 90th Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.
