ArmInfo. It is unacceptable to affirm support to the recent internet
campaign launched to issue a public apology to Armenians, Turkish
Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan told reporters on Wednesday.
"I neither accept nor support this campaign. We did not commit a
crime, therefore we do not need to apologize," Erdogan said, adding
the issue is still being discussed by historians. Moreover, he said
such initiatives only reverse the positive steps taken by Turkey,
as Turkish Hurriet reported.
To recall, around 200 Turkish academics, writers and journalists
launched a website issuing an apology to the Armenians regarding the
1915 incidents and calling for people to sign on in support.
