ERZURUM – The new mass grave belonging to Turks killed by Armenians
in 1919 in Tuzluca town of eastern Igdir province will be opened on
May 27.
The mass graveyard will be opened by the participation of scholars
from various countries.
Prof. Dr. Yusuf Hallacoglu, the Chairman of the Institution of
Turkish History told A.A correspondent on Friday that they would
bring onto world public opinion’s agenda the mass graveyard found in
the region in return to the claims of so-called genocide on
Armenians. He said they had information in the archives confirming
that 150 Muslims were killed in Gedikli village in Tuzluca town of
eastern Igdir province in 1919 by Armenians. Prof. Dr. Hallacoglu
said that the place where 96 persons killed by Armenians and buried
in a mass graveyard was found by getting information from the
children of persons who saved themselves from Armenian massacres.
Prof. Dr. Hallacoglu said that Armenian gangsters later demolished
the house where they brought together 96 persons and killed them,
adding that they buried the dead persons in that house.
Hallacoglu added that they would also invite Armenians to Gedikli
village where the graveyard was found. ”We will particularly invite
the chairman of Dashnag organizations in Armenia to the opening of
the mass graveyard,” he noted.
