le=”text-align: justify; “>In an interview with the Turkey-based Taraf daily, the Turkish historian and socialogist Taner Akcam commented on a rally in Istanbul’s central Taksim Square to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the “Khojaly Massacre.”
The participants were crying out fascist slogans and holding posters with similar calls. According to Akcam, Turks should face their own history, particularly the events involving Christians. Otherwise, Turkey will never become a true democracy.
The 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide is approaching, and the ruling Justice and Development Party is showing it is capable of applying racist principles. “If you try to press me, I will make use of the Khojaly and Azerbaijan problems. This is the message,” Akcam said.
