KOCHARYAN: TURKEY CONSISTENTLY IMPLEMENTS GENOCIDE DENIAL POLICY
Thursday,

Deputy Foreign Minister of Armenia Shavarsh Kocharyan responded to
the question of the program “First Informational” of Armenia’s Public
Television concerning the newly-appointed Turkish Foreign Minister
Mevlut Cavusoglu’s recent statement about Armenian-Turkish relations.
Mevlut Cavusoglu blamed Armenia for the fact that Armenian-Turkish
relations have not been normalized. He reiterated that the Armenian
side allegedly did not respond to the Turkish prime minister’s letter
in 2005.
“We would not like to believe that the Armenian side’s answer to the
Turkish prime minister’s letter of April 25, 2005 has not remained
in archives of Turkish Foreign Ministry. The answer was given and
then published in a few days.
Turkey consistently implements a policy of denial of the Armenian
Genocide and continues its futile attempts to distort and deny
historical facts. This position of the Turkish side is the obstacle
to the Armenian-Turkish normalization,” Shavarsh Kocharyan said.
