Senator McCain said, “We are witnessing significant progress in the relations between Turkey and Armenia. For the first time, parties are making steps towards same direction. I believe that a genocide was committed against Armenians, and i think there are plenty of document about this issue. On the other hand, Turkish and Armenian people and states cannot forget the past. Especially Armenians cannot. Because of that, they consider that they should develop the relations with Turkey step by step. I find this opinion favourable.”
