Turkish MFA makes another unsuccessful step to confuse international community

Turkish MFA makes another unsuccessful step to confuse international community

 

YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 28, ARMENPRESS: Ahead of the centennial of the Armenian Genocide the official circles of Turkey made another tricky diplomatic step aiming at presenting the international community the Turkish image of “advocate of Armenian case regulator” and “having unbiased approach to its own history”. Armenpress reports, citing the Turkish Hurriyet Daily News that the Deputy Foreign Minister of Turkey Naci Koru stated that Turkey has opened the Foreign Ministry’s archives to researchers.  
The ministry’s archives since 1919 will be opened to professionals through a private password. Naci Koru said that some 25 million documents, which cover political relations between Turkey and foreign countries, will be transferred to digital media up until the end of 2015. The ministry is on the point of finalizing transferring archives into digital media, he added.

It turns out that this time as well we are dealing with the Turkish publications, where the open archives policy is declared. Though, as formerly, now as well, many questions arise, still remaining unanswered.
First, it is strange that the state decided to open only those foreign policy related documents of the archive, which date 1919 and the period after that. Thus, the official documents, related to the period of the World War I and the Armenian Genocide, which are more important and interesting, will remain unknown and unreachable for the researchers.
