  Turkish nationalists urge to arrest intellectuals calling to apologize to ArmeniansDecember 6, 2008 - 14:21 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Some Turkish intellectuals and academicians are getting ready to launch a campaign to apologize to the Armenian nation for denial of the 'Great Calamity' of 1915, Vatan Turkish daily reports. "We are apologizing for not being able to discuss this topic openly for such a long time, nearly one hundred years. I follow the dictates of reason," Dr. Cengiz Aktar said, when explaining why he joined the campaign against the Armenian Genocide denial. "What happened to Armenians is not well-known but people are forced to forget it. The topic is highly provocative. Turks have heard much from their elders, their grandfathers about this calamity which, unfortunately has not been studied properly. Therefore, many people in Turkey, with good intentions, think that nothing happened to Armenians," Aktar said. Meanwhile, Turkish nationalists demand that the people "supporting Armenian claims should be arrested."
