QA-8, 17 March 2016, Statement of the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Tanju Bilgiç in Response to a Question Regarding the Statements of the Greek Prime Minister Mr. Aleksis Tsipras, and President Mr. ProkopisPavlopoulos on the Occasion of the Visit of the President of Armenia Mr. Serzh Sarkisian, Referring to Historical Events During the Disintegration of the Ottoman Empire and Containing Grave Allegations Against Turkey and the Turkish Identity

The statements in question are the product of a pathetic mentality proving that the relations and solidarity betweenGreece and Armenia is built upon a joint hostility and slander language directed against the Turkish identity.

Turkey and the Turkish people will never give credit to those bringing to the fore at every opportunity a dictum of history which is unlawful, disconnected with realities, one-sided and obsessive.
