Yusuf Halacoglu, Head of the Turkish Historical Society (TTK), made a “shocking” statement at a conference in Konya, Turkey.

Haberler reported that, speaking of the proposals concerning the reforms implemented in Turkey since the 19th century, as well as of the Kurdish problem, Halaçoğlu claimed that the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, which is considered a terrorist organization in Turkey, is not at all a Kurdish organization, as 80% of its members are Armenians.

Yusuf Halacoglu has made numerous false claims about the Armenian Genocide. His flights of fancy deny imagination. Several years ago the Turkish authorities “sent him off.”
