The attendance of the Russian and French presidents at a commemoration event in the Armenian capital for the 1915 events in the Ottoman Empire will cast a shadow on the Minsk Group's impartiality, said Turkish prime minister late on Thursday, Turkey’s Anadolu Agency reports.

"We expect the Minsk Group -- that mediates in Nagorno-Karabakh conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia -- to behave objectively in the face of the Armenian attitude which abuses the issues," said Davutoglu.

Touching upon Putin, who named the 1915 events as "genocide," Davutoglu said he is in touch with the Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu and "necessary steps" will be taken in this regard, Anadolu reports.

"Any position that disturbs and insults our history, will abuse our trust in anyway," said Davutoglu.
