Turkey to counter Armenian Genocide recognition campaign, Erdogan says
17:38 07/01/2015 » IN THE WORLD
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Tuesday Ankara would “actively”
challenge a campaign pressuring Turkey to recognize the Armenian
Genocide, on the 100th anniversary of the tragedy this year, AFP
reports.
“I believe that both the foreign ministry and the relevant
institutions will actively counter those allegations,” Erdogan told
Turkey’s ambassadors in a keynote speech, adding that discussions were
already under way to detail an action plan.
Also, Erdogan accused Armenia of expending its energy on genocide
claims and politicising the issue by imposing its own “biased” view
point.
