Turkey cannot conceal the fact of the Genocide of Armenians, as it is responsible for that crime against humanity, though Kurds also helped Turks in that process, Ragip Zakaroglu, a Turkish publicist said at an international conference in Cologne, Germany, ahead of the centennial of the Armenian Genocide.
Ragip Zakaroglu said the Genocide of the Christian population of Turkey, namely, the Armenians, Assyrians and Greeks, was jihad, which is now repeated in Syria. He alarmed that in Turkey everyone who speaks of Genocide is persecuted by the authorities.
