YEREVAN, OCTOBER 13. ARMINFO. The recognition of the early XX events
in Ottoman Turkey meets the interests of Turkey itself, the head of
the European Commission delegation to Georgia and Armenia, Ambassador
Torben Holtze says in a talk with ARMINFO.

The events are the problem of both Armenia and Turkey. Turkey should
follow the example of Germany who recognized the Holocaust after
WWII. What heppened in 1915 is not acceptable to civilized societies
and to the EU in particular. Turkey’s recognizing the events is a
very complex issue. This is not just a matter of recognition. The
Turkish authorities say: you can adopt a resolution on the events,
make statements but you cannot change our people’s understanding of
the issue, says Holtze.
