/PanARMENIAN.Net/ We are astonished at the fact that a theme like the
Armenian Genocide was included in the German political agenda’, Turkish
Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul stated, Rheinischer Merkur reported. In his
words, German politicians should not have done it. `It a great injustice not
only in respect to Turkey but also to the Turks living in Germany. There was
no Armenian Genocide in the history of Turkey, moreover attitude towards
Armenians was vary loyal’, Gul said. In his words, Russians incited
Armenians against the Empire and as result there emerged a necessity of
resettling the Armenian population. However this resettlement was not
forcible, Turks even covered the expenses of the journey and any violation
was immediately suppressed. `We stated publicly that the historical
commission composed of Turkish and Armenian scientists as well as scientists
from other countries should investigate our archives. Turkey has nothing to
conceal’, Abdullah Gul stated.
