Neither U.S. nor Sweden has any real interest in the events in the
Ottoman Empire in 1915, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan
stated in the interview with a Turkish TV channel.
"Every year, they present Turkey with a fait accompli, and if it
is repeated year in and year out, we will have to admit that their
decisions are of no interest to us," stated Erdogan. According to him,
not a single piece of serious research on the events that occurred
in the Ottoman Empire in the early 20th century is available.
Thereafter, Erdogan asks himself what provokes these countries to
adopt decisions like that. "It is in the domestic interests of these
states. You are not the parties to 1915 events. They are Armenia and
Turkey," Erdogan said, referring to the countries recognizing the
Armenian Genocide.
