Turkey does not intend to spoil relations with the US because of the
events of 1915, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu was quoted
Jan. 15 by the Turkish newspaper Milliyet as saying.
Cavusoglu expressed hope that the US will not take any actions that
could worsen the bilateral relations between Turkey and the US.
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.
Although Turkey has repeatedly proposed to create an independent
commission to investigate the events of 1915, Armenia continues to
reject this proposal.
