We Apologize activists have more accusations against the Turks than the Armenians do: Azeri consul to Kars

Activists of the We Apologize campaign have more accusations against the Turks than the Armenians do, the Ankarahaber news agency quoted Azeri Consul to Kars Hasan Sultanoglu as saying.

In late 2008, a Turkish Web site began issuing an apology to the Armenian people for the crimes that the Ottoman Empire allegedly committed against them in 1915.

Armenia and the international Armenian lobby assert that the Ottoman Empire committed genocide against the Armenians living in Anatolia in 1915. In an effort to win the support of the international community, the Armenian lobby has increased its propaganda in several countries and a number of governments already now recognize the Armenian genocide.

Sultanoglu said the Turks never committed a genocide and this is proven by historical documents. The consul also expressed his concern over the apology campaign launched in Turkey.
