Turkish President Recep Erdogan's invitation to events marking the
Battle of Gallipoli was an inappropriate and miscalculated step,
Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan stated at the 5th sessionof the
State Commission coordinating the events dedicated to the 100th
anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, on Thursday.
"When I received that inappropriate invitation I considered it
necessary to immediately and publicly respond to Recep Erdogan because
the invitation could have been misperceived and commented on by
international mass media and public. I think my response and the
resultant reaction both by the international community and in Turkey
are evidence of that miscalculated step being a vain one.
"That step, as well as all the attempts of denial, is in vain. Denial
is not only a manifestation of complexes of political impotence and
inferiority, but is also a legal category. It links Turkey's incumbent
authorities to their predecessors that committed genocide and makes
them accomplice to that gravest crime against humanity. And it was
what the Republic of Turkey was doing at the European Court of Human
Rights yesterday," President Serzh Sargsyan said.
