PanARMENIAN.Net - The Armenian-Turkish dialogue should be uninterrupted, according to a Turkish expert.



"All kinds of issue can be discussed and our dialogue must cover all spheres, from the Armenian Genocide to the closed border. Only in this case, Armenians and Turks can reach understanding," Aybars Gorgulu, expert at Sabanci University and assistant program officer of TESEV foreign policy program, told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.



At that, he noted that people in Turkey dont know what happened in 1915.



"This period of not included history is not in the school curriculum. People are surprised to hear that Turkey pursues a policy of denial. That is why our dialogue is important," Gorgulu said.
