Bring your documents, Erdogan calls on Armenian diaspora
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has challenged the Armenian diaspora to come up with documents to resolve the intractable political issue surrounding the mass killings of Ottoman Armenians 100 years ago, Hurriyet Daily News reports.
“O, the Armenian diaspora, our documents are here. Whatever documents you have, bring them,” Erdogan said while inaugurating an exhibition on World War I in the Ottoman Archive Facility in Istanbul on March 19.
Erdogan said Turkey opened “millions of classified documents in its archives” to public, urging the Armenian diaspora and Yerevan, as well as third countries, to do the same for historians to “find the truth.”
