Turkish Armenian Community: 1915 events are not genocide

Representatives of the Armenian community in Turkey stated that the events of 1915 in the Ottoman Empire can not be called genocide. According to them, it was a civil war, which affected not only Armenians but the Turks and other nationalities living in the Ottoman Empire, the Turkish newspaper "Hurriyet" reported.

Armenia claims that the Ottoman Empire committed "genocide" against Armenians living in Anatolia in 1915. Making greater efforts to promote the issue internationally, Armenians have achieved its recognition by parliaments in some countries. It is expected that in connection with the anniversary of the so-called "Armenian genocide" in April Armenian lobby will strengthen activity in the world's parliaments, especially in the U.S. Congress.
