ANKARA - Turkish Daily News
Both Turks and Armenians need to distance themselves from the narrow window of nationalism and racism, Turkish Armenian Patriarch Mesrob Mutafyan stated yesterday at a symposium held in the central Anatolian province of Kayseri.
Delivering a speech at the symposium titled �The Art of Living Together in the Ottoman Society: The Case of Turkish-Armenian Relations� and hosted by Erciyes University, Mutafyan complained of re-enactment demonstrations held in Anatolia marking the liberation of several provinces during the War of Independence. During those re-enactments, Ottoman Armenians are usually portrayed as traitors and are killed by Turks."
