Abdullah Gul at PACE was not something new, they have been repeating
that "song" from 1918, political specialist Sergey Shakaryants said
today at a meeting with journalists, adding that Turkey has always
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.

the President and Foreign Affairs Minister of Turkey, which has assumed
the presidency of the Assembly from November 2010 by 6-month rotation
system, have already delivered speeches referring to the issue of
relations with Armenia. Sergey Shakaryants noted that the Turkish
state has committed the Armenian Genocide and must answer for it.
"Turkey has planned and committed genocide toward Armenians, while it
continues to deny that fact in front of the international community,"
Mr. Shakaryants said, citing the words of Greek President Karolos
Papoulias, according to which Turkey has always been a barbarian.
According to the political specialist, Gul's speech at the PACE cannot
bring to anything serious.
