State Archives Deputy Director General Associate Professor Mustafa Budak said that mostly Japanese and Americans are interested in Turkish archives on Armenian issue. Budak said that Armenian historians struggles for preventing studies of research in Turkish archives.
Budak stressed that interest of historians to Ottoman archives increases and said, “Foreign researchers who are curious of reasons of success of Ottoman administration are interested in Ottoman archives.”
Budak said that Armenian diaspora in United States struggles to prevent foreign researchers to use and analyse Ottoman archives and said, “Recently one Armenian from Armenia, two Armenians from diaspora and a Turkish Armenian use Ottoman archives for researches. Armenian diaspora in United States tries to prevent this. Because they are afraid for truth to unveil.”
