Turkey hopes Obama won’t be affected by Armenian lie

Baku, Azerbaijan, Apr.16

By Rufiz Hafizoglu - Trend:

Turkey hopes that the US President Barack Obama won't be affected by the Armenian lie on 1915 events and won't use the word "genocide", Volkan Bozkir, Turkish minister for EU affairs said.

He said that to date, the US has pursued a balanced policy on the 1915 events, Anadolu agency reported Apr.16.

The minister added that while Armenian lobby and Armenia use some well-known people as Kim Kardashian for their purposes, Turkey pursues its state policy.

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 "genocide" in the world, Armenians have achieved its recognition by the parliaments of some countries.

Earlier, Turkish authorities, including the country's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has repeatedly said that Ankara is ready to open the archives to investigate the 1915 events.

Moreover, Turkish authorities put forward the same proposal to Armenia as well. However, Armenian authorities continue to ignore this proposal.
