Bozkir says Francis’s homeland Argentina ‘welcomed the Nazis’

: Ankara

(ANSA) – April 13 – Turkey’s Minister for European Affairs Volkan
Bozkir on Monday launched a personal attack against Pope Francis
after the pontiff referred to mass murders in Armenia. Bozkir said
the Argentine-born pope’s homeland “welcomed the Nazis” adding the
Armenian diaspora there “is dominant in the world of printing and
business” giving it great influence. Turkey was furious after the pope
on Sunday spoke of a 1915 “genocide” in Armenia by the Ottoman Empire.

Turkey contends that deaths were caused by a civil conflict.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
