Erdogan claimed there was no genocide in their civilization confirming
that in fact their civilization had enjoyed love, tolerance and
brotherhood. "Muslims don’t commit genocide," he said.

During the 95th commemoration of a Turkish military victory during
World War One Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan maintained
that Armenians in the Ottoman Empire had not faced genocide but in
fact had plotted to exterminate Turks.

He added "Our warriors always respected ancestral laws and did not
kill innocent people even on the battlefield".

He underscored that his country’s history boasted of a clean and
untarnished slate citing that "No country’s parliament can tarnish
it". He was referring to the U.S. and Swedish lawmakers’ latest
resolutions recognizing the annihilation of 1.5 million Armenians by
Ottoman Turks as genocide.

Erdogan claimed there was no genocide in their civilization confirming
that in fact their civilization had enjoyed love, tolerance and
brotherhood. "Muslims don’t commit genocide," he said.

However it was reported that the Turkish premier did use the word
"genocide," when he slammed the deaths of several dozen Turkic-speaking
and Muslim Uighurs during last years unrest in China’s northwestern
Xinjiang region.
