National Congress of Armenians of Ukraine appealed to Ukrainian Education and Science Minister Dmitry Tabachnik expressing concern over publication of joint Ukrainian-Turkish manual for history teachers, Analitika.at.ua reported.
“Armenian Diaspora of Ukraine is seriously concerned over possibility to create joint Ukrainian-Turkish manual for history teachers. Denial concept of official Turkish historiography regarding Armenian Genocide in 1915-1922, as well as falsification of approach to the history of Armenia and Armenian colonies, raises concern over reliable interpretation of historical processes,” the statement reads.
The Congress members recalled that during the Genocide about 50,000 of Armenian refugees escaped from Turkey and found shelter in Kharkov, Odessa, Feodosiya and other Ukrainian cities. These facts are irrefutable evidence of the Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Empire.
