Tuncel suggests that the legislature approve the proposal to have President of Turkey Recep Tayyib Erdogan apologize to the Armenians for the Armenian Genocide. Moreover, the President must officially apologize on behalf of the Republic of Turkey.

According to the proposed draft law, the President of Turkey must officially apologize from the podium of the Parliament. The day after the apology, the President must read the text of apology at one of the sites of the massacres, after which all the state archives must be opened in front of the members of a parliamentary commission to be set up within a maximum of one year following the apology. By the draft law, it is proposed to declare April 24^th a day of mourning and mark it on calendars, as well as make moral and financial reparations.
