Armenians say Erdogan didn't go far enough
Armenians are making their annual commemoration of the massacre of an
estimated 1.5 million Armenians by Ottoman Turks, unsatisfied by an
unprecedented conciliatory message by Turkey's premier.
The killings in 1915 are regarded by many historians as the first
genocide of the 20th century. Turkey rejects the term "genocide," says
the death figure is inflated and that people died on both sides as the
Ottoman Empire collapsed amid World War I.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Wednesday called the
events "our shared pain" and acknowledged that the deportation of
Armenians had "inhumane consequences."
