Ankara hopes that France will be on the side of justice in the issue
of the 1915 events, the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said
Oct.31 at a joint briefing in Paris with the French President Francois
Hollande, the Anadolu Turkish agency said.
Erdogan said that Turkey always extended a helping hand for the
resumption of relations with Armenia.
"Unfortunately, Armenia has never reciprocated," Erdogan said. "In
2015, the year of centenary of the so-called "genocide", Turkey will
continue to make every effort in order to ensure that the world would
learn the real truth about these events. Ankara hopes that France
will be on the side of justice in this issue."
Armenia and the Armenian lobby claim that Turkey's predecessor the
Ottoman Empire allegedly carried out "genocide" against the Armenians
living in Anatolia in 1915. Turkey in turn has always denied "the
genocide" took place.
While strengthening the efforts to promote the so-called "genocide" in
the world, Armenians have achieved its recognition by the parliaments
of some countries.
