Nurettin Baykal, a Turk residing in Australia, said that around 10 of 100 Turks support Armenians, 20 of them – are against Armenians, and 70 – are indifferent to this nation. Armenians should activate their national mentality, if they want to gain the Genocide recognition, Baykal told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. He added that the resolution of the Kurdish issue is a priority for Turkey, followed by the problem with Armenians. “Possibly, the two issues will be solved simultaneously.”

Baykal stressed that President Abdullah Gul and Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan are ready to recognize the Armenian Genocide, but they are afraid of not being supported by Turkey’s population.
