In response to Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s allegations that no one can call Turkey a genocide perpetrator, historian Taner Akcam has raised several questions, calling the premier’s attention to the three telegrams sent by Talaat Pasha, the Ottoman ruler during the WWI period.
“I do not seek a dialogue; I only wish the premier to give an explanation on certain documents of the Ottoman Empire,” Akcam said, calling upon Erdogan to comment on his statement that ‘no genocide was ever committed in the history of the Muslim nations’.
The first telegram dated August 29, 1915 states explicitly that there is no more need for undue violence the Armenian issue can be considered resolved as of that date.
