/PanARMENIAN.Net/ It is unacceptable to affirm support to the recent
internet campaign launched to issue a public apology to Armenians,
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Wednesday.
Over 10 thousand people have already signed the public apology for
Armenian Genocide launched by a group of Turkish academics, writers
and journalists.
"I neither accept nor support this campaign. We did not commit a
crime, therefore we do not need to apologize," Erdogan said, adding
the issue is still being discussed by historians.
He said such initiatives only reverse the positive steps taken by
Turkey, Hurriyet reports.
