HistoryofTruth.com - Armenian Allegations

Turkish President, Abdullah Gul said at a news conference amid his Paris visit that not only Armenians, but also Turks suffered from the 1915 events, the CNN Turk news agency reported.

“Besides Armenians, Turks also have suffered from the 1915 events,” Gul said.

He said the discussion of these events may harm the future of Turkey and Armenia.

President Gul underlined the importance of establishing a joint commission between Ankara and Yerevan to investigate the events of 1915.

Every year on April 24 Armenians mark the anniversary of the so-called “genocide” to falsify historical facts, by making unfounded claims against Ankara. In 2006, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has appealed to the President of Armenia with a proposal to establish a joint commission, but the Armenian side rejected this proposal, stating that it had no doubt in the interpretation of this event.

“We are ready to accept the facts to be concluded by the Commission. We wholeheartedly support the participation of any country in the commission, the French scientists will also be able to join the process,” said Gul.

Earlier Erdogan said in an interview with Trend that the foreign ministers of Turkey and Armenia will meet on Oct. 10 or 11 and will sign a preliminary document. The foreign ministers of both countries, Ahmet Davudoglu and Edvard Nalbandian will sign two protocols, copies of which had previously been agreed upon and accepted internationally as a major breakthrough, the PM added.
