There we are, again. As April 24, day of commemoration of the Armenian Tragedy approaches, nothing new on the Turkish front.

Well, some things are different than, say, 1999.

A couple of days ago, a book printed by Mr Ragıp Zarakolu of Belge Publishers, landed on my desk: the first Turkish translation of “Ambassador Morgenthau’s Story”. A key – and for the official Turkish line, disputable - document for all research around the terrible events in Asia Minor in 1915-16.

Along with “The Blue Book” (Bryce/Toynbee), almost all basic sources of information that defend the “genocide” thesis are now published in Turkey. More is certainly to come. "
