The suggestion by Timothy Ryback and Elazar Barkan in “A $12 billon history lesson” (Views, Feb. 26) that Turkey’s call for an independent international historical commission on the Armenian genocide is necessary is devoid of context and unfair.
The Armenian genocide has been documented so thoroughly and with such overwhelming evidence and scholarship that to claim there is need for a Nuremberg-like trial is absurd. The Armenian genocide has been proven as fact by foreign office records of the United States, France, Britain, Russia and perhaps most important, by Turkey’s own World War I allies, Germany and Austria-Hungary, as well as by the records of the Ottoman Courts-Martial of 1919-20, and by decades of scholarship.
AGBU offers many programs promoting the development of the identity and culture of young Armenians especially during holiday trips organized in Armenia and France
