YEREVAN, 16 DECEMBER, ARMENPRESS. During an event held in Sweden, one
of the mayors of the Turkish city of Mardin, Ahmet Turk apologized to
the Armenians, the Assyrians and the Yezidis for the fact that certain
Kurdish ashirets had been accomplices during the Genocide of 1915,
reports the Turkish Demokrathaber.net, reports "ArmenPress".
"Unfortunately, the Kurds, who implemented and executed the
government's decision taken in 1914-15, were overtly used under the
name of Islam. We now feel the bitterness about the participation
of our fathers and forefathers in those massacres as their children
and grandchildren," Ahmet Turk mentioned, adding that the Kurds will
never forget the pain that those nations experienced. "We ask the
Armenians and the Assyrians and our Yezidi brothers to forgive us,"
the mayor of Mardin said.
