In the interview given to Austrian journal the "Profil" Armenian
Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian touched upon the statement of the
Turkish PM Erdogan on expulsion of hundred thousands of Armenians from
Turkey, and answering the question of the journalist whether it evokes
remembrance of the death marches in the year 1915, the Armenian FM
said, "Such kinds of remarks by a Turkish leader speak for themselves.
That means and it's regrettable that some leaders in modern Turkey
haven't given up the Ottoman period discriminatory and racist
approaches.
Of course, this particular statement was a shock for everyone and
not only in Armenia. The Armenian Genocide started with exactly such
statements in 1914-1915. Later in the end of the 20th century massacres
and deportations of the Armenian population of Azerbaijan were
accompanied by such kind of racist statements," the minister noted.
