Berktay uncovered that the Turkish government purged many of the evidence 's and documents regarding the Armenian Genocide found in the Turkish archives . According to him , the archive cleaning was “ most probably implemented by Muharrem Nuri Birgi , a former Turkish ambassador to London and NATO and Secretary General of the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs . ” Berktay also claims that “ at the time he was combing the archives , Nuri Birgi met regularly with a mutual friend and at one point , referring to the Armenians , ruefully confessed : ‘ We really slaughtered them . ’”
