ArmInfo.Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan called the speech of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on April 24 as the "new level of denial of the  Armenian Genocide and justification of the massacre of the  nation".

Pashinyan called Erdogan's statement "hateful" and called on  the international community to respond: "On the day when Armenians  around the world mourned the innocent victims of the Ottoman Genocide  Turkey, this country's president Recep Taib Erdogan reiterated a  statement denying the greatest crime of the 20th century , calling  him only "the deportation of Armenians".

<Call the extermination of the entire Armenian population of the  Ottoman Empire, as well as the massive forced deportation of  Armenians <death caravans> <Armenian bandits and their accomplices>,  and the massacre of 1.5 million people"The most logical behavior is  not only a new level of denial of the Armenian Genocide, but also an  excuse for the destruction of an entire nation," Pashinyan wrote in  his microblog on Twitter."Such a statement on April 24 - on the day  of the anniversary of the Genocide is a deep insult to the Armenian  people and all of humanity and an expression of extreme hatred  personally by Erdogan. The world should not be silent>, - summarized  Pashinyan.

Note that, speaking at a conference dedicated to the Turkish  archives, Erdogan, referring to the events in Ottoman Turkey at the  beginning of the 20th century, said that Armenians killed women and  children, and in such conditions the deportation of "Armenian  gangsters and their supporters was the most logical behavior ".
