“Turkey is alarmed that having officially recognized the Armenian
Genocide they will have to face new demands. The issue of Armenian
Genocide is the “sword of Damocles” hanging over Turkey,” former
Iranian Ambassador to Armenia Mohammad Farhad Koleyni said in an
interview with Iranian “irdiplomacy.ir” news site referring to the
French President’s statement on Armenian Genocide.
The Iranian diplomat has stated that Turkey is scared to face new
challenges if the country officially recognizes the Armenian Genocide
– Armenians, based on the treaties signed after the world wars,
can submit territorial claims to Turkey.
Former Iranian Ambassador has said that France holds the issue of
Armenian Genocide as “the sword of Damocles” over Turkey keeping the
country farther from the EU family.
