Turkey, Armenia can take symbolic steps in 2015: PM adviser

[ 26 December 2014 12:39 ]

Baku. Zumrud Pashayeva – APA. Turkey and Armenia should not expect to
resolve a long-running dispute over the mass killing of Armenians in
World War I on the 100th anniversary of the tragedy in 2015, top
adviser to the Turkish prime minister Etyen Mahcupyan told AFP in an
interview, APA reports citing Global Post.

Etyen Mahcupyan, who is himself a member of Turkey’s Armenian
minority, said 2015 would be a “tough year” because of the 100th
anniversary of the “Armenian genocide”.

“I believe symbolic steps could be taken this year and a more
emotional relationship could be established,” said Mahcupyan.
