Turkish Foreign Ministry: Impossible to accept Armenian genocide
allegations
Ankara, 28 September: “We are deeply worried about the one-sided
approach of our ally Netherlands’ political parties on so-called
Armenian genocide as this puts a limit on the freedom of expression,”
said Namik Tan, spokesman of the Turkish Foreign Ministry, on
Thursday [28 September].
“It is not possible to accept allegations on so-called Armenian
genocide as historical reality,” told Tan.
The candidacy of several individuals of Turkish background were
annulled in the Netherlands as they refused to accept the so-called
Armenian genocide before the upcoming elections on 22 November.
“Turkey has opened all archives, including military ones, so that the
incidents of 1915 can be studied from a scientific perspective.
Turkey offered to establish a committee of historians from both
Turkey and Armenia to study the incidents of 1915,” stressed Tan.
