    Recent 60 DaysApril 24 statement regarding 1915 incidents.

    Turkish Foreign Ministry stated that it regarded the statement, which
    distorted the historical facts, as problematic in every aspect and
    deeply regretted it.

    The Ministry on Wednesday said that unfortunately US President Obama
    was demonstrated this year once again a one-sided approach which
    reflected the Armenian views regarding the dispute between Turks and
    Armenians on the painful part of their common history.

    It was added, "We regard this statement, which distorts the historical
    facts, as problematic in every aspect and deeply regret it. Issued
    under the influence of domestic political considerations and
    interpreting controversial historical events on the basis of one-sided
    information and with a selective sense of justice, such statements
    damage both Turkish-American relations, and also render it more
    difficult for Turks and Armenians to reach a just memory."

    "Our expectation from an important ally of Turkey such as the US is
    not to further deepen the problem, but to provide constructive
    contributions for its resolution, and to encourage the Armenian side,
    which avoids objective and scientific research of the issue, to be
    more realistic and conciliatory," said the statement.

    The statement underlined that the pain experienced during the World
    War I was a shared one and the memory of that period was as sensitive
    for the Turkish people as it was for the Armenians.

    "Despite the prejudiced attempts to hinder a correct understanding of
    history, Turkey approaches the issue with self-confidence and an
    open-mind, and wants the truth to be investigated in all its aspects,"
    noted the statement.
