Nikol Pashinyan not offended when called 'Turk'

YEREVAN, December 12. /ARKA/. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said today he is not offended when he is called 'Turk' by some of his fellow citizens and political opponents.

Speaking at the 4th Global Forum Against the Crime of Genocide in Yerevan Pashinyan noted that one of the aspects of solving the problem of genocide is the rejection of ethnic insults, including on the official level.

In particular, the Prime Minister pointed out that in Armenia, if one wants to insult another one they call him 'Turk', which has happened to him more than once.

"I would like to tell those individuals who tend to insult me that they do not insult me (by calling me 'Turk'), because I do not accept and do not take it as an insult," Pashinyan said. --0--
