“The President of the Assembly of Turkish American Associations Gunay Evinch alleges that the ‘ultranationalist’ Armenian diaspora is attempting to sabotage the Turkish-Armenian protocols by urging a congressional resolution recognizing the Armenian genocide,” The Boston Globe daily reports.
“This false allegation is nothing more than another Turkish strategy to drive a wedge between Armenia and its diaspora. Armenians in Armenia are just as determined to achieve justice for the Armenian genocide,” the source informs. Thereafter, the daily refers to the letter by former seven Presidents of International Association of Genocide Scholars to Turkish President Abdullah Gul: “The joint historical commission defined by the protocols is appropriately charged with a broad mandate to discover facts that will lead to reconciliation based on truth. The goal is to depoliticize what is really a question for historians. Passing the current House resolution would torpedo this objective.” “The historians have spoken. Evinch and his Assembly of Turkish American Associations must cease their genocide denial,” the source quotes Laura Boghosian.
