Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) President
Movlud Cavusoglu believes not politicians must take decisions in
relation to genocide.

"Decisions relating to the history should not be taken by politicians.

We, politicians, are not so informed in history, we can not check the
archives and we do not have the knowledge and experience to conduct
research in various archives. Specialists should be engaged in this.

Putting such issues on the agenda by the politicians is wrong,
"Cavusoglu said replying the journalists’ questions about the so-called
"Armenian genocide".

Armenia claims that the Ottoman Empire committed "genocide" against
Armenians living in Anatolia in 1915. Making greater efforts to promote
the issue internationally, Armenians have achieved its recognition
by parliaments in some countries.
