Baku, Azerbaijan, April 23
By Rufiz Hafizoglu – Trend:
There was no "Armenian genocide" in history, Speaker of Turkey’s parliament Ismail Kahraman said, the Turkish media reported on April 16.
He said that, Turkey is not afraid of its history.
"The Turkish authorities have repeatedly appealed to Armenia with a proposal to establish a joint historical commission to investigate the events of 1915. However, so far we have not received any response from Armenia," Kahraman said.
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. While strengthening the efforts to promote the "genocide" in the world, Armenians have achieved its recognition by the parliaments of some countries.
