Genocide truth plea
TURKEY is ready to "confront" its guilt in one of history's most
brutal war crimes, its Prime Minister said yesterday.
But Recep Tayyip Erdogan stopped short of admitting that the killing
of 1.5million Armenians by Ottoman Turks nearly a century ago amounted
to genocide.
Calling on Armenians to help document the actrocities, he said: "We
are saying, let's wipe away the tears, push prejudices to one side,
and reveal historic truths in an objective manner."
Erdogan also scolded German president Joachim Gauck for raising human
rights concerns during his visit to Turkey this week.
