Turkey should learn from Australia

This was the Australian newpaper Indigenous Times the day after that the PM of Australia Kevin Rudd held a speech in the parliament where he appologized to the Aboriginal people, the 13th February will always be remembered amoung the Aboriginal people as the "Sorry day".
The apology was a step in the rigth direction even if the threatment against the Aboriginal people was not labeled as a genocide.

The Armenians is next in line, waiting for a apology and recognition that a genocide occured and that over 1.5 million people was killed in this genocide. Turkey can not open a new era until the "G" word is solved.

Will Sabah ever publish a similar "We say sorry" frontpage to the Armenians as the Indigenous Times did?
