Armenian and Turkish intellectuals intend to meet in Ankara on the anniversary of 1915 killings of Armenians in Ottoman Empire, Hurriyet Daily News reports. According to the source, the meeting occurs “at a time when the historic normalization process between the two countries has stalled.”

The meeting organized by the Ankara Freedom of Thought Initiative is aimed at improvement of the dialogue between two nations. The participants will discuss 1915 events. “The Armenian issue from a historical perspective,” “From [the Committee of] Union and Progress to Kemalism — official ideological denial and termination of the issue,” “The Turkification of the capital” and “The Armenian issue: How to handle it?” topics are in focus.

“We believe the problem between the two nations will be solved only by dialogue,” Sait Cetin -one of the forum organizers told the Hürriyet Daily News & Economic Review.
