YEREVAN, November 27. /ARKA/. Deputy chairman of Armenian parliament Eduard Sharmazanov condemned today Turkish authorities for ordering to down Russian Su-24 bomber, during a meeting with the chairman of the Russian State Duma Sergey Naryshkin saying also that "to shoot down a military aircraft fighting against terrorism means indulging terrorists."
A Russian Su-24M tactical bomber was brought down over Syria by a Turkish air force fighter jet on Tuesday. Russia says the Su-24 did not cross into Turkish territory, while Turkey argues that the Russian aircraft entered its airspace.
Sharmazanov was quoted as saying by Armenian parliament press service that "the world is changing, new political approaches are being shaped, new situations emerge, and during this period Armenia has reconfirmed its being a true ally of Russia, the brotherly Russian people."
"Turkey, unfortunately, did not change over the past 100 years," Sharmazanov said
This year Armenia marked the 100 anniversary of Armenian Genocide committed in Turkey in 2015. The Armenian Genocide was the first genocide of the twentieth century. According to Armenian and many other historians, up to 1.5 million Armenians were killed starting in 1915 in a systematic campaign by the government of Turkey.
Turkey has been denying it for decades. The Armenian genocide was recognized by tens of countries.
The first was Uruguay that did so in 1965. Other nations are Russia, France, Italy, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Poland, Lithuania, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland, Greece, Cyprus, Lebanon, Canada, Venezuela, Argentina, 43 U.S. states.
It was recognized also by the Vatican, the European Parliament, the World Council of Churches and other international organizations. ----0-----
