Iranian president's Special Assistant: Ottoman Turkey is condemned in extermination of millions of Armenians
“Ottoman Turkey is condemned in extermination of millions of Armenians,” has stated the Iranian president's Special Assistant in Ethnic and Minority Affairs Ali Younesi, the Iranian “Habaronline.ir” reports.
The Iranian high ranking official has touched upon the ethnic and religious minorities in the ISNA news agency and has noted in particular, “Some radical circles claim that Iran is a multinational country, however it is a wrong interpretation as there is only one nation in Iran. All the citizens are a part of that nation. The religious and other ethnic Iranians have a big input and have no privileges with each other.”
Ali Younesi has added, “It should be noted that during the glorious history of Iran there has been recorded no case of Genocide. See what is going on in Turkey, Iraq, and Pakistan. Ottoman Turkey is condemned in extermination of millions of Armenians. While there are no such records in the case of Iran, as many Iranian tribes have been able to preserve their identity.”
