ANKARA- Turkey's Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu expects no negative comments from the U.S. or the president of the United States on the upcoming anniversary of the so-called "Armenian genocide."
Davutoglu answered journalists' questions Thursday before leaving for Japan for a nuclear weapons meeting.
Asked about whether Barack Obama will make a statement that will "irritate" Turkey on April 24, the anniversary of the so-called "Armenian genocide," Davutoglu said he expects no negative comments.
Since World War I, the Armenian diaspora claims that the events of the era constituted a “genocide.” The Turkish government completely rejects this charge.
"There has been an attempt in the U.S. Senate, the Foreign Relations Committee, from anti-Turkey lobbies," Davutoglu said. "I have talked with Mr. Kerry about the situation and he understood our concern."........[aa.com.tr]
