The Turkish president stressed that Armenian gangs destroyed civilians in the Ottoman Empire in a similar way in 1915.

The Turkish president stressed that the countries accusing Turkey of the "Armenian genocide" do not have any evidence.
“The history of the countries accusing Turkey of the "Armenian genocide" is full of genocides and murders of innocent people,” he added.
