Foreign Ministry of Turkey: Attempts to distort history are doomed to failure

attempts to distort history through statements that have no basis and contradicting international law, are doomed to failure. This is stated in the statement of the Turkish Foreign Ministry, regarding the statements of representatives of the authorities of a number of countries on the events of 1915 in the Ottoman Empire.

The foreign policy of Turkey emphasized that the events of 1915 cannot be perceived with the prism of the internal agenda of individual countries or distorted for the sake of a number of politicians. “A similar approach will only lead to a distortion of historical realities. Those who insist on such a biased position will enter into history as supporters of cheap political steps. We fundamentally deny such unreasonable statements and decisively condemn those who insist on an erroneous position. No one and no one and no one and no one No organization has the right to teach Turkey its own history, ”Ankara emphasized.

In Ankara, [authors of statements] were called to correct a monstrous mistake, not to take steps aimed at spreading enmity, to support the initiatives of the Turkish side to create a joint historical commission (according to the events of 1915 – approx. Anadola) and contribute to the efforts of Turkey to ensure peace and cooperation in the region.
