FM comments on Turkey’s response to Pope Francis’ Genocide statementApril 14, 2015 - 16:20 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian commented on Turkey’s recalling its ambassador to the Vatican in protest over Pope Francis using the word "genocide" to describe the mass killing of 1.5 million Armenian Christians at the hands of the Ottoman Empire, CNN reports. "We are in a situation in which Turkey speaks a different language from the rest of the international community and it seems that it doesn't understand that it is speaking a different language," Nalbandian told Italian News Agency Adnkronos. "During these past days there have been several international organizations that adopt resolutions or issue statements that recognize the Armenian Genocide and that appeal to Turkey to make this step," he added. "The pope's statement is this context of universal value. When Turkey is able to understand this, it will be able to understand what the International community and big personalities (or better translations 'leaders') are saying."
