Turkey failed to cast shadow on Armenian Genocide centenary commemorations – expert
The events dedicated to the Armenian Genocide centenary were held at a high level, Turkologist Hakob Chakryan told reporters on Wednesday, highlighting that the speech of Russian President Vladimir Putin during the commemoration ceremony at Tsitsernakaberd was very impressive.
“The Turkish President attempted to cast a shadow on the Armenian Genocide centenary commemorations with the Gallipoli events, but he did not succeed,” the expert noted.
The Turkologist said that the Pope’s statement, the European Parliament resolution, and the Armenian Genocide centenary events weakened Turkey’s efforts to counteract the Armenian Genocide initiatives. In his words, Turkish analysts themselves stated this.
