    ARMENIANS EXPECT GENOCIDE RECOGNITION FROM TURKEY - CATHOLICOS ARAM I

    YEREVAN. April 25

    The Armenian people expect not only condolences but the recognition
    of the Armenian Genocide from Turkey, Catholicos Aram I of the
    Catholicosate of the Great House of Cilicia.

    "We have read the Turkish prime minister's statement on the eve of
    the Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day. Falsification of historical
    facts cannot overpower indisputable truth. What happened in Turkey in
    1915 was not a result of war, Mr. prime minister. This is genocide
    of Armenians - in both the political and legal sense of this word,"
    Catholicos Aram I said in commenting on Turkish Prime Minister Recep
    Tayyip Erdogan's statement in the run-up to the Genocide Remembrance
    Day.

    The Turkish prime minister for the first time expressed condolences
    to the descendants of Armenians massacred in the Ottoman Empire in
    1915 in a Wednesday statement.

    "It is with this hope and belief that we wish that the Armenians
    who lost their lives in the context of the early 20th century rest
    in peace, and we convey our condolences to their grandchildren,"
    Erdogan said in his statement.

    "The incidents of the First World War are our shared pain," he said.

    In commenting on the Turkish prime minister's words, Catholicos Aram
    I said on the Catholicosate of the Great House of Cilicia's official
    Facebook account, "This is genocide organized and committed by your
    ancestors - Talaat Pasha and Enver Pasha. Therefore, the Armenian
    people expect not condolences and lectures from Turkey but the
    recognition of the Armenian Genocide and compensation."
