Turkey's prime minister underlined on Tuesday necessity of finding
permanent solutions to problems.
Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan said instant reactions and temporary
solutions would not bear any result.
"We have to think multi-dimensionally and with a long-term perspective
and find robust, effective and permanent solutions," Erdogan said
during a meeting in Ankara's Golbasi town.
Erdogan's remarks came after the lower house of the French parliament
adopted a resolution last week that criminalized denial of Armenian
allegations regarding the incidents of 1915.
"We have to make use of history and science to deal with these
allegations that are tried to be turned in an anti-Turkey campaign
by some countries, instead of populist and argumentative discourses
and instant reactions," Erdogan said.
Erdogan said Turkey would only speak with documents, information and
with the help of archives and science against unjust, ill-minded,
racist and discriminative campaigns.
"I request our scientists, scholars, researches and universities to
give priority to studies on our near future," Erdogan said.
Erdogan also said Turkey was reading its history well and re-building
today and future with the strength, courage and self-esteem it got
from its history.
