“Our Prime Minister is the first Turkish politician who wrote a letter to Armenian government and said “If you are ready to face your own history, I am ready too.
Let’s open our all our archives, and establish a commission consisting of historians of second and third countries. Let this scientist make a report, let’s look at this report and decide”. But unfortunately, the Armenian government couldn’t be brave enough to accept this proposal, said Turkish Minister for the EU Affairs Egemen Bagis at his interview to Qatar’s “Al Jazeera” channel. Turkish Minister answered the question “Do you think of apologizing for 1915 incidents?” as follows: If it is a reality that is proved from scientific point of view, why not? At first we must determine what happened,. Our archives, the archives researched by the Turkish scientists clearly show that no genocide occurred”.
Minister also answered the question about Turkey’s acts if French President Sarkozy signs the French Senate’s adoption of draft law criminalizing the denial of made-up “Armenian genocide” as follows “Use the strength of your imagination in order to know what Turkey will do”.
