Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu’s statement that Turkey is prepared to help Armenians of Kessab is a manifestation of cynicism, Turkish studies expert Ruben Melkonyan told reporters in Yerevan.
According to the expert, the internationally stipulated rights of Kessab Armenians were violated and the Armenian community of Kessab was deprived of elementary means of living.
“The life of Armenian community is in danger and it will be difficult for them to return and continue living in their community,” Melkonyan said.
“The population of Kessab was deported, which, according to the UN Convention, is considered as a genocidal act,” he stressed.
