A group of Turkish intellectuals recently sent a petition letter to Armenians, apologizing publicly for the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Turkey in 1915. The fact itself is already unique if taking into account Article 301 of Turkish Penal Code, which "promises" to arrest those who will openly discuss the Armenian Genocide. Nevertheless, professors Baskэn Oran and Ahmet Эnsel, journalists Ali Bayramoрlu and Cengiz Aktar personally apologized for the "great disaster Ottoman Armenians suffered in 1915".
