PanARMENIAN.Net - The investigation into an alleged illegal network known as Ergenekon has revealed that a civilian who was formerly employed by the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) had collected detailed information on Turkey's ethnic Armenian population. Ergenekon investigators found that Fatma Cengiz, who is currently a suspect in the case against Ergenekon, collected various dossiers regarding the Armenian community in Turkey.



The file included a list of subscribers to the bilingual Armenian weekly Agos.



According to sources, Cengiz also tracked the names of academicians, writers and journalists who participated a two-day academic conference held on Sept. 24-25, 2005, at Istanbul Bilgi University titled "Ottoman Armenians during the Decline of the Empire: Issues of Scientific Responsibility and Democracy." The conference openly disputed the official Turkish account of the Armenian massacres, Today's Zaman reports.
