  Expert: Turks concerned over Genocide 100th anniv. commemoration April 3, 2013 - 16:26 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkey prioritizes neither the Genocide issue, nor Armenian-Turkish reconciliation, political expert Artak Shakaryan said. “Turks do the utmost to prove that not only Armenians, but also Turks were massacred in 1915. For this reason, memorials to the so-called “Turkish genocide” and to the victims to ASALA operations will be built in Turkey,” the expert said, adding that Turks are seriously concerned about Armenian Genocide 100th anniversary commemoration events. “Unfortunately, Armenia only responds to Turkish scenarios, rather than initiates new plans,” he said, adding that the frozen state of Armenian-Turkish protocols benefits Ankara.
