17:15, 21 April, 2015

The 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide is only a couple of
days away, and Ankara is in a state of crisis since Turkey has lost
“the genocide battle” in Europe.

As “Armenpress” reports, this is what analyst for Radikal Serkan
DemirtaÃ…~_in his article, analyzing the commotion that the more active
process of international recognition of the Armenian Genocide has
caused in Ankara.

Touching upon Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu’s message of
condolence issued yesterday, Demirtash emphasized that his statement is
apparently different from former Prime Minister and current President
of Turkey Recep Tayyib Erdogan’s message in that it wasn’t issued on
April 24th, but four days in advance.

Mentioning the fact that the Turkish government is strictly concerned
about the fact that on April 24th Germany might also recognize the
Armenian Genocide with a resolution submitted to the Bundestag and
will join European and other countries having recognized the Armenian
Genocide, the Turkish commentator noted: “It’s safe to say that Turkey
has already lost “the genocide battle” in Europe, which will have a
negative impact on the process of Turkey’s EU accession.”
