There is nothing written in Turkish manuals of history about it," Co-chair of the Turkish-Armenian Business Development Council (TABDC) Kaan Soyak told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. According to him, Turks started to speak about the tragedy of 1915 not long ago. "When Armenian President Robert Kocharian touched upon the subject in the UN our people started to speak of it as well. In my opinion, the trouble is that we do not contact. Armenians should know that Turkey wants to know her own history," Soyak emphasized.
