Turkish publicist calls for apologizing to Armenians

Turkey should apologize to the Armenians for the Genocide and seek legislative measures towards providing financial redress, a Turkish intellectual has claimed.

In a recent article published in Radikal daily, Orhan Kemal Cengiz, a renowned journalist and publicist says that holding Turkey accountable for the1915 Genocide is no longer possible given that none of its perpetrators is alive. Instead, he proposes that the country admit and condemn the tragedy.

“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,” he says.
