John McCain on Armenian Genocide

11:31 / 04/17/2010On April 15, the former presidential nominee, U.S.
Senator John McCain reiterated his opinion that Armenian Genocide was
perpetrated in Ottoman Empire.

`U.S. and Turkey have been friends and allies for years. Turks fought
beside U.S. troops in many wars and I hope we will do our utmost to
maintain relations,’ McCain said in the interview with Voice of
America.

According to him, Armenian Genocide should not become an everlasting
issue in Turkish-Armenian relations.

`I am confident, what happened was genocide, but I state it was
perpetrated in other times and under another government. This should
be considered by all parties.’
