TURKEY STILL GUIDED BY OTTOMAN VALUES - ARMENIAN DEPUTY FM
- YEREVAN. - The Armenian Genocide's recognition is indispensable for Turkey, first and foremost. Unless Turkey reconciles with its past, it has no future, it has no prospects, Armenia's Deputy FM Shavarsh Kocharyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.
In his words, the Genocide's international recognition is inevitable. As per Kocharyan, in reality, there is great pressure against Turkey in terms of acknowledging the Armenian Genocide.
According to him, Turkey's authorities are not ready to recognize the Genocide, since they are guided by those values that existed in the Ottoman Empire.
In any case, according to Shavarsh Kocharyan, the Armenian Genocide's international recognition is unavoidable, and the Armenian-Turkish relations are frozen because of Turkey.
Armenia's Deputy FM has but one expectation from Turkey: to ratify and implement the signed Armenian-Turkish protocols.
