BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 24. The emerging
atmosphere of peace and reconciliation in the South Caucasus is a
firm response to circles trying to incite hostility, the Turkish
Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a commentary regarding
statements made by some officials of several countries about the
events of 1915, Trend reports.
It was noted that this issue should not become a subject of
political speculation.
“Nevertheless, it is observed that politicians in some third
countries are trying to use this issue for narrow political
purposes or seek to cover up their own responsibility. For
centuries, our country has represented one of the strongest
examples of a culture of coexistence, opened its archives for a
fair and scientific examination of the events of 1915, and proposed
the establishment of a Joint Historical Commission. This proposal
remains valid.
We call on third parties whose intentions are constructive to
support efforts aimed at achieving a shared and fair historical
memory, as well as the constructive atmosphere of dialogue that has
emerged recently,” the statement by the Turkish Foreign Ministry
emphasized.
