YEREVAN - The Turkey-Armenia road map announced as a compromise between the two countries has re-ignited the debate over a committee of historians enlisted to investigate past events regarding the neighbors.
The director of the "Genocide Museum", Hayk Demoyan, said Turkish historians to work on the committee would face difficulties under the threat of Article 301 of the Turkish Penal Code.
"How can historians express their ideas freely under the threat of Article 301 of Turkish Penal Code?"Demoyan said if such a committee would be formed it should examine old and new documents in the archives instead of wasting time to discuss whether "genocide" happened or not.
