TURKEY MUST FOLLOW GERMANY'S LEAD - UKRAINIAN PRODUCER
April 04, 2013 | 18:35
Ukrainian public figure, composer and producer Alexander Yegorov is
confident that Turkey must recognize Armenian Genocide, apologize and
try to get pardon and then create a new history of friendly relations
between the nations.
"Germany was not ashamed to confess and apologize to the Jews and the
entire world for the atrocities of the fascist regime. The same should
be done by Ankara. They must wash out the shame for the crimes of
their ancestors, especially taking into account Turkey's EU bid. In
addition, Azerbaijan must stop its anti-Armenian policy launched
in Baku and Sumgait, and recognize the right of Nagorno-Karabakh to
self-determination," Analitika.at.ua quotes Yegorov.
The fact of the Armenian Genocide is recognized by many states. It was
first recognized in 1965 by Uruguay. In general, the Armenian Genocide
in Ottoman Turkey has already been recognized by 21 countries and 43
out of 50 U.S. states.
Turkey denies accusations of mass killings of Armenians during the
First World War and is extremely sensitive to criticism voiced by
the western states.
