The Turkish media has been braiwashing the Turkish people for years telling everybody that Turkish archieves are open and Armenian archieves are closed. Armenia has nothing to hide. Turkey does. One example would be that cancelation of the conference organizes by 3 major universities. And the Turkish historian's name who came to Armenia to study the archieves is Yektan Türkyılmaz.

yes they has nothing that is why they are hiding. And the Turkish historian's name who is arrested due to his researchs fo archieves is Yektan Türkyılmaz. and is there any document about the genocide...it is just an interpretation as the others and this interpretation is written based on the informs of allied powers which were the enemy of Ottomans. so this makes them baseless personal interpretations. and that site is telling about the deportation. so did you search the reason of that deportation? or were they only the Armenians who were deported?
The historian was not arrested because he was doing research on archives. He got arrested because he attempted to take old book out of the country without permission.
Duke Student Gets Suspended Sentence In Armenia
Turkish Researcher Charged With Taking Historical Books
POSTED: 3:42 pm EDT August 17, 2005
YEREVAN, Armenia -- A Yerevan court on Tuesday handed a two-year suspended sentence to a Turkish historian from Duke University who tried to leave the country with centuries-old books, in violation of Armenian law.
Yektan Turkyilmaz, 33, was leaving from Yerevan June 17, when Armenian security agents pulled him from his plane. He was carrying 88 books, some of which dated back to the 17th century, authorities said.
Armenian law prohibits anyone from taking a book that is more than 50 years old out of the country without permission. Authorities did not return the books to Turkyilmaz.
Turkyilmaz is the only Turkish scholar to be allowed to study in Armenia, which has tense relations with Turkey, due to lingering bitterness over the mass killings of Armenians in Turkey during World War I and Turkey's support of Armenia's regional rival, Azerbaijan.
Turkyilmaz, who was freed after the ruling, told reporters that he planned to spend another two weeks working in Yerevan before returning to Istanbul then North Carolina, where he is a doctoral student at Duke.
