ArmInfo. Yerevan does not consider it worthy to comment on the statement made from Ankara on the day of remembrance of the holy martyrs of the Armenian Genocide.
So, Armenian Foreign Minister Zohrab Mnatsakanyan in an interview with Public Television on the "Day of Watch" program commenting on the statement by the press secretary of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan Ibrahim Kalyn that signing the Armenian-Turkish protocols was a step towards peace and stability in the South Caucasus, which, in turn, rejected, Armenia stated that "the discussion of this distorted interpretation is not worthy of our comment, because we know the story well."
According to him, Armenia, for its part, has made its contribution as a state whose people survived the Genocide - made its contribution by moving this process to the end "And you all very well remember that this was the subject of very national, deep and very complex discussions. And what have we come to, having done all this? To the fact that Turkey really just threw all this out of the window, and this once again demonstrates that this danger is profound. And all these comments that have been made are already being compared, even more deepen the process of denial because to about the excuse of genocide also joins the scourge. All this together becomes impunity and a threat, "the Armenian minister summed up.
It should be noted that on the eve of the press secretary of the President of Turkey, Ibrahim Kalyn, referring to the 105th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, assured that allegedly attempts to harm the interests of Turkey through "lies about the so-called genocide of 1915, untwisted for the sake of certain political circles, are doomed to failure." According to him, those who believe that they can "put pressure on Ankara by distorting historical realities" and thereby wedge relations between Turkey and foreign countries are deeply mistaken.
Kalyn also recalled the cynical message of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on April 23, 2014, which allegedly became a call for peace aimed at eliminating misunderstandings on the tragic pages of the common heritage of Anatolia and the Ottoman state. "Countries that are trying to hold Turkey and the Turkish people accountable for an imperfect crime and make biased decisions should first look at the dark pages of their own history / Turkey is ready to support any constructive approach based on historical facts reflected in the archives. Ankara will continue to continue take steps for peace and stability in the region, "the spokesman for the Turkish president concluded.
