  Armenia slams Erdogan’s denialist message on Genocide anniversary April 25, 2016 - 12:07 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s message on the 101st anniversary of the Genocide is yet another failed manifestation of denialism, Armenia's Deputy Foreign Minister said Sunday, April 24. Erdogan on Sunday commemorated the lives of Armenians lost in the Genocide of 1915, citing the massacres as “tragic conditions” of the war. “That was an explicit attempt to put the responsibility for the Genocide, committed by the authorities of Ottoman Empire against the Armenians, on the Armenians themselves,” Shavarsh Kocharyan said. “Turkey spares no effort to equate the victims of war and those of the Genocide, pre-planned and perpetrated at the state level.” “Turkey’s denialist stance further deepens the gap between the Armenian and Turkish peoples, while the best way to fill it is facing history and repentance,” Kocharyan added.
