Turkey Should Hurry with Armenian Issue
Turkey should maximally speed up the measures undertaken within the Armenian issue. Historians should deal with historical issues and Turks should think in this direction, staunch defender of official Turkey's position on the Armenian Genocide Justin McCarty stated during the "New rapprochement in the Turkish-Armenian relations" symposium held in Istanbul. McCarty also touched upon the protest of the Armenian lobby against the TV debates to take place after the show of Andrew Goldberg's film titled Armenian Genocide. "The resolution of the issue is unclear yet. But if Armenians had anything to say they wouldn't have minded the program," the American historian said, reported Marmara Istanbul-based newspaper.
