Peskov says Washington’s recognition of the Armenian Genocide is part of a ‘carrot and stick’ game
The Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov doubts that the desire to understand history was behind US President Joe Biden’s statements on recognizing the genocide of Armenians under the Ottoman Empire, TASS news agency reported. Peskov's remarks came in a live broadcast of the Great Game program on Channel One TV Thursday, Tass news agency reported.
"I believe that to a larger extent Washington’s recognition of the genocide is most likely an integral part of this favorite ‘carrot and stick’ game. This is not the desire to show sympathy for the Armenian people and it is not the desire to deeply understand the history of the Ottoman Empire and the history of Armenia," Peskov pointed out.
In the same interview, Peskov suggested that Turkey and Turkey’s commitment to independent course of development are generally the subject for heightened attention and a concern at NATO and US.
