Institute for Armenian Research
Institute for Armenian Research (Ermeni Araştırmaları Enstitüsü; EREN) is a privately funded think tank in Turkey established in April 2001 by the nationalist Center for Eurasian Strategic Studies.[1][2] Ömer Engin Lütem is the chairman.
Jay Winter, Charles J. Stille Professor of History at Yale, describes the organisation and its role in the denial of the Armenian Genocide as follows:[3]
In order to institutionalize this campaign of denial and try to invest it with an aura of legitimacy, a "think-tank" was established in Ankara in April 2001. Operating under the name "Institute for Armenian Research" as a subsidiary of The Center For Eurasian Studies, with a staff of nine, this new outfit is now proactively engaged in contesting all claims of genocide by organizing a series of conferences, lectures, and interviews, and above all, through the medium of publications, including a quarterly.
