TURKISH AND ARMENIAN HISTORIANS SHALL MEET
"Sabah" newspaper February 21 reported that director of the "Komitas" Historical Institute, London, Ara Sarafian, answered the call of the Turkish Historical Science Union Yusuf Halacoglu to "study together the Armenian allegations of genocide".
Before referring to the Turkish newspaper's report, it should be reminded about Halacoglu's earlier suggestion of joint study of the Mtsbin (ancient Nicibin) cave burial, discovered by Swedish historian David Gunt. Professor Gunt came to conclusion that the skeletons found in the cave belong to Armenians and Assyrians massacred in 1915 and submitted the issue to the Parliament of Sweden. Turkish historians opposed this point of view and allege that the burial should be dated by the Roman or Byzantine eras. Evidently, Mr. Gunt was reluctant to accept such criticism of his discovery and refused Halacoglu's proposal of joint study, calling him a "Samurai" in a press publication.
Unlike David Gunt, Armenian scientist from London, Ara Sarafian agreed to hold a similar joint scientific research in Kharberd. This was, naturally, welcomed by Yusuf Halacoglu, reports "Sabah". Sarafian, explaining his action said that he had been present to the Science Conference at the Istanbul University, March 16, 2006, and accepted Halacoglu's proposal, considering that cooperation in this study will be a firm background for further researches.
"Armenians have ever put preconditions for creation of joint scientific commissions or starting joint studies. They have always demanded the recognition of the Armenian Genocide," "Sabah" reports Yusuf Halacoglu's words. "Sarafian put no preconditions and therefore his proposition is unprecedented. And it is rather important in sense of starting cooperation with Armenian historians and studying together the events of 1915," he said. Halacoglu added that Sarafian may suffer for his bold actions and become a target of numerous insinuations.
