Selahattin Demirtas, who is co-chair of Turkey’s pro-Kurdish “Peoples’
Democratic Party” (HDP) and an ex-presidential candidate, has
reiterated that they recognize the Armenian Genocide.

Demirtas responded to numerous questions, including the query on the
recognition the Armenian Genocide, on the air of CNN Turk.

“We recognize the Armenian Genocide without question. The Kurds and
others certainly have played a role in the Armenian Genocide, but the
political will [to commit this genocide] was that of the Young Turks’
party, led by Enver and Talaat Pashas.

“If Turkey claims to own the Ottoman heritage, let it own it [, the
Armenian Genocide], too. If not, let it come to grips with this
tragedy,” Selahattin Demirtas specifically noted.
