Now this is the so-called meeting in question.

AS LONG AS THE ARMENIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES KEEPS SILENCE TURKEY'S FRAUDS

WILL REACH THE AIM

International Organizations Disoriented by Turkish "Proofs"

 

In their issues of July 20 two Turkish newspapers Milliet and Eni

Shafak citing Anatolu news agency informed that scientists from

Armenia and Turkey exchanged 100 documents on the Armenian Genocide

during Vienna meeting of July 16. The Milliet together with two other

Turkish publications, Radical and Turkish Daily News, addressed to the

meeting once again on July 21.

 

The Turkish press gave no name of Armenian scientist participating at

the meeting but, instead, emphasized that the meeting was arranged by

the Armenian-Turkish platform of Vienna, was presided by the Vienna

University professor Mr. Biehl and that the Turkish delegation was

headed by Prof. Halachoghlu, president of the Organization of Turkish

History.

 

While most of the Turkish newspapers were evading the Armenian

delegation, Radical wrote, referring to the president of the Institute

of Armenian Studies of the Eurasian Military Research Center Hasan

Okta, that the Armenian sidewas represented by the president of the

Museum-Institute of Armenian Genocide and by a professor of the

Armenian National Academy of Sciences.

 

The Azg Daily has posted the abovementioned articles without adding

any comment. Dr. Hasan Okta rushed to inform Azg Daily that never

mentioned the president of the Museum-Institute and the professor of

the academy in his interviewed to the Radical and that the newspaper

was mistaken.

 

Ashot Melkonian, president of the Institute of History of the National

Academy of Sciences, wrote to Azg Daily saying that the Turkish

informationabout the Armenian scientists participating in the Vienna

meeting was a blatant lie, and the president of the Museum-Institute

of the Armenian Genocide Dr. Lavrenti Barseghian wrote about the

translations from the Turkish press that "the journalist published

false materials of the Anatolu news agency without checking them out."

 

It is out of doubt that Dr. Hasan Okta would not have turned to Azg

Daily to refute the misleading information of the Turkish press unless

Azg Daily hadn't published the Turkish coverage of the Vienna

meeting. We wouldn't have had Ashot Melkonian's and Lavrenti

Barseghian's response to Turkish deception either.

 

We should mention that the Turkish press didn't aim at Azg Daily but

rather intended to disorient interested international

organizations. Consequently, referring to the Turkish publications,

Azg Daily only disclosed the plot.

 

Though the lie is unmasked, there still remains a major question: is

the international community aware of this? Armenia should immediately

find out the names of Armenian scientists participating in the

meeting, then inform the University of Vienna of the fraud and demand

that both the Armenian-Turkishplatform and the university, as the

organizer of the meeting, speak publicly over the issue.

 

It should be the initiative of the Armenian Academy of Sciences to

inform and demand explanation from the Vienna University as the latter

had turned to the Academy and received its consent over arranging an

Armenian-Turkish meeting in Vienna.

 

The present attitude of the Armenian Academy is just amazing to

us. Are they unaware of what is going on, are they indifferent? It is

hard to say. But we know for sure that Turkey takes advantage over

Armenia in the issue of the Armenian Genocide and presents its false

facts to the Vienna University andother international organizations

whereas the Armenian Academy of Sciences is reluctant to act.

 

Although the falsifications cannot stop the process of the Armenian

Genocide acknowledgment, they may hinder it. The fact that the

Genocide acknowledgement is a first priority for our state should not

be a secret for our scientific organizations especially for the

National Academy of Sciences.
