Turkey Says Remarks by French Presidential Hopefuls on Armenian Allegations Election Gimmick |
25 April 2012Turkish Foreign Ministry said Tuesday remarks by French presidential candidates Nicolas Sarkozy and Francois Hollande over the alleged anniversary of the Armenian allegations on the incidents of 1915 in the Ottoman Empire were motivated by election tactics.
"This is just another example of abusing controversial historical issues for the sake of political calculations," the ministry said in a statement.
The statement said it was unfortunate to politicize history, adding that clear-cut judgements and discriminatory approaches could not serve to justice or to a true interpretation of history.
"What was expected of leading French politicians was to send out constructive messages to support Turks and Armenian to reach a fair memory," the statement said. |
