    Turkey is ready to face its records of history, Turkish Parliament
    Speaker Cemil Cicek said March 11.

    "We did not have a criminal record until now," Cicek said during the
    meeting with Canadian speaker of the House of Commons Andrew Scheer
    in Ankara, adding Turkey was ready to accept the conclusions of a
    Joint History Commission with Armenia.

    "The biggest insult and the most disrespect that can be shown to a
    society is accusing them of committing genocide, though it is not
    real", Cicek said, adding the acceptance of the 1915 events by the
    Canadian Parliament as genocide had hurt Turkey.

    Cicek said in the Ottoman Empire in 1915, allied forces were attempting
    to snatch Ottoman lands and as a result both Armenian and Turkish
    populations suffered. "That has nothing to do with genocide according
    to international law," Cicek said.

    Scheer said Turkey's call for a "Joint History Commission" with
    Armenia to address the 1915 events was positive.
