YEREVAN, April 17. /ARKA/. Turkey is trying to blackmail international organizations and many countries and put pressure upon them, Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandyan, said in a statement posted on the foreign ministry’s website as response to Ankara's reaction to the European Parliament's resolution on Armenian Genocide.
«It is obvious that the policy of denial has no future,» he said. «Recalling ambassadors and slamming the countries and organizations which respect 1.5 million innocent victims of the Genocide and which condemn denial and try to prevent new crimes against humanity, the Turkish leaders find themselves lonely at the sinking ship of denial.»
The minister said in his statement that the resolution was adopted by a parliament that represents 28 countries, but Ankara didn't recall ambassadors from these 28 countries. «If it did so, Turkish ambassadors would face unemployment problem,» he added.
In his opinion, Turkish authorities are like a chess player in zugzwang, whose every next step only worsens his position. Nalbandyan also said citing the resolution: «No reconciliation is possible without truth.» ---0----
