Yerevan (Yerkir) - Former presidential nominee, US Senator John McCain
has reiterated his view that genocide was committed against Armenians
in the Ottoman Empire.
"The USA and Turkey have been friends and allies for years. Turks
have fought alongside US troops in many wars and I hope we will do
our utmost to maintain relations," McCain said in the interview with
the Voice of America.
He said that the Armenian genocide should not become a perpetual
issue in Turkish-Armenian relations.
"I am confident that what happened was genocide, but I state it was
perpetrated in other times and under another government. This should
be considered by all parties."
