Baku, Azerbaijan, Jan. 15
By Rufiz Hafizoglu - Trend:
Turkey does not intend to spoil relations with the US because of the events of 1915, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu was quoted Jan. 15 by the Turkish newspaper Milliyet as saying.
Cavusoglu expressed hope that the US will not take any actions that could worsen the bilateral relations between Turkey and the US.
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.
