Abdullah Gul at PACE was not something new, they have been repeating
that "song" from 1918, political specialist Sergey Shakaryants said

moved forward with such a policy denying the fact of annihilation of
Armenians by them. "They have not changed from 1918-1919, no other
interpretation can be here," the political specialist said.

Papoulias, according to which Turkey has always been a barbarian.
