"Beyond everything, the Irish know -- more than all other people who
live on this planet -- what it means to have our memories of history
shattered. People may voice different views regarding incidents which
took place in history. Therefore, as a country which knows this,
Ireland is one of the main countries which know to stay out of these
kinds of debates," Regnum news agency quoted the Irish President
Mary McAleese as saying at a joint press conference with her Turkish
counterpart, referring to whether Ireland may recognize the Armenian
Genocide. Note that McAleese arrived in Turkey Monday on a five-day
official visit.
According to the source, the President of Ireland hailed the
Armenian-Tirkish normalization initiative.
M. McAleese also said Ireland supports Turkey's EU membership.
