Ali Birinci new
TTK president
|
|
Police Academy lecturer Professor Ali Birinci has been appointed to the presidency of the Turkish Historical Society (TTK).

The decision to move Birinci to the TTK presidency was published in the Official Gazette yesterday. Birinci is highly respected for his books and articles on historical issues. Professor Yusuf Halaçoğlu, the former TTK president, was removed from office by a Cabinet decision and will serve as a professor at Gazi University as he did prior to his nomination to the presidency. Halaçoğlu is known as a strong denier of allegations that Armenians were subjected to genocide at the hands of Ottoman Turks during World War I. He used to fervently claim in conferences and panel discussions that claims of genocide were completely false and that the TTK has 100,000 pages of archived documents that refute Armenian claims of genocide in 1915.
