TURKEY MUST RECOGNIZE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE: FORMER US STATE SECRETARY
YEREVAN, MAY 5. ARMINFO. “I think, it would not be harmful. Big
nations may ask pardon”, stated US ex-Secretary of State Madlen Olbrayt
at a scientific conference organized by both “Brukings” institution
(Washington) and “Sabanch” university (Istanbul) answering the question
if Turkey should recognize Armenian Genocide.
According to Turkish “Milliet” newspaper, Olbrayt made as an example
Germany and noted that “Armenian issue is extremely painful and it is
important to leave the past behind despite the fact that Armenians and
Turks have different approaches to this knotty historical problem. If
Turkey does it, it will become the leading country in the region”,
she added. -r-
