WikiLeaks on Armenian Genocide: Turkey ‘purged=?UTF-8?B?4oCZ?= archives to destroy evidence

The whistle-blowing site WikiLeaks has de-classified documents that demonstrate once again that Turkey has edited out its archives relating to 1915-23, however Turkish studies specialist Anush Hovhannisyan is convinced that "even 'purged' archives still have papers documenting the Armenian Genocide and are not in favor of Turkey".

In a WikiLeaks-released cable originating from the U.S. Consulate in Istanbul in July, 2004, Consul General David Arnett quoted Turkish Sabanci University Professor Halil Berktay, according to whom the archives related to the Ottoman Empire had undergone "purges" destroying all the evidence on the Armenian Genocide.
