“Turkish President was yet another failed expression of denialim, an obvious attempt to lay the responsibility for the genocide on Armenians,” Armenian deputy Foreign Minister Shavarsh Kocharyan told a press conference today.
“Turkey maintains efforts to put the victims of war and the victims of genocide planned and perpetrated on a state level,” he added.
“Turkey’s denialist posture further increases the gap between the Armenian and Turkish peoples, acknowledgement of history and penitence is the best way to overcome it,” th Deputy Foreign Minister said.
