In response to Turkish publicist Orhan Kemal Cengiz’s recent article urging Turkey to apologize to the Armenians for the Genocide, the National Council of Western Armenia has issued a statement, characterizing the move as yet another attempt to “feel the pulse of the Armenians”.
It particularly focuses on the publicist’s statement saying that international courts can no longer hold Turkey accountable for the massacres. given that none of their perpetrators is alive (Tert.am 11:55 • 10.04.12).
“Turkey can say, for instance, that the 1915 events constituted one of the biggest tragedies against the mankind, and we admit the fact. We condemn its organizer, the regime led by the Union and Progress party, and apologize to our Armenian brothers, and their descendents,” Cengiz said in his article published in the Turkish daily Radikal.
