YEREVAN. – Turkish FM Ahmet Davutoglu’s visit to Armenia on Thursday
was a show prepared by Turkey.

Ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) MP Mkrtich Minasyan noted the
above-said at a press conference on Saturday.

In his words, Davutoglu wanted to portray that he wishes to even out
the attitudes of both nations.

`It [i.e., the visit] was just bait, a childish [one], at that. His
statement, according to which they had responded to the Armenians’
`betrayal’ with deportation [in 1915] is ridiculous.

`I believe the civilized mankind really knows what transpired [in
those years]. It is simply impossible to distort history to that
degree,’ Minasyan noted.

According to the RPA MP, the Turkish authorities have a problem of
grasping whether or not they can find the strength in themselves to
accept the historical truth without making shows and `juggling.’

`If Turkey wants to become a truly civilized country, it needs to look
at the truth without fake and distracting glasses,’ Mkrtich Minasyan
argued.
