Turkish Historian Statement on Armenian Genocide Cause Anger Tide among Turkish Organizations

PanARMENIAN.Net - In a special issue of Horizon weekly from December 2005 an interview with Turkish historian living in the US, Michigan professor Fatima Muge Gocek was published. She touched upon issues of the Armenian Genocide, Turkey's denialist policy, Armenian-Turkish dialogue, Istanbul conference, Turkish community's stance over Armenian Genocide and other topics. Her analysis and opinions cause a tide of anger among some Turkish organizations. Some even called her «ARF Dashnaktsutyun agent and Turkish people enemy.» Fatima Muge Gocek answered to authors of e-mails sent to her, «We have a number of scholars and private persons, whose goal is to slander and discredit those honest scientists, who justly want to turn the Armenian Issue into a dialogue subject.»
