THERE WAS NO GENOCIDE – TURKEY PM
April 29, 2014 | 12:47
In an interview with the American PBS television, Turkish Prime
Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan again denied the fact of the Armenian
Genocide.
Well-known PBS talk show host Charlie Rose asked Erdogan whether
Turkey may recognize the Armenian Genocide, reported Intertnethaber
website of Turkey. In response, Turkey’s PM stated: “It’s impossible
because had there been genocide, there would not have been Armenians
living in Turkey today.”
For the first time in Turkey’s history, and ahead of the anniversary
of the Armenian Genocide, a Turkish PM condoled with the victims
of the Genocide in 1915. His respective statement, however, did not
deviate from Turkey’s official policy of Genocide denial.
