Turkey will not allow Armenia to promote the 1915 events as genocide, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said in his interview with TRT Haber TV channel.
He said Turkey watches Armenia's activities on this issue, adding that Armenia and Armenian lobby were particularly active on this issue in 2014. "But it doesn't mean that Turkey will leave it unresponded."
Cavusoglu said that Turkey is ready to create a commission to investigate the 1915 events.
Armenia and the Armenian lobby claim that Turkey's predecessor the Ottoman Empire allegedly carried out "genocide" against the Armenians living in Anatolia in 1915. Turkey in turn has always denied "the genocide" took place.
While strengthening the efforts to promote the so-called "genocide" in the world, Armenians have achieved its recognition by the parliaments of some countries.
Although Turkey has repeatedly proposed to create an independent commission to investigate the events of 1915, Armenia continues to reject this proposal.
