Resulting from "the great tragedy," which occurred in Eastern Anatolia during the years of World War I, Turks suffered no less than Armenians. As reported by "Mediamax" agency, head of the Turkish foreign ministry Abdullah Gul stated when addressing a measure commemorating the Turkish diplomats perished in various years. "I do not consider it useful to instigate revengefulness in the minds of young people and I suggest everyone to face the future with expectation of friendship and love, wiping out pages of hostility and hatred from the calendar," - the Turkish minister stated.
