The Turkish leadership is busy with useless brain exercise.

Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly (NA) of Armenia, Eduard Sharmazanov, said the aforementioned on Saturday, commenting on the subsequent statement of the Turkish FM Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, who again urged Armenia to set up a joint commission of historians for studying the 1915 events.

According to him, the Armenian Genocide, which is an undeniable fact, was one of the cruelest crimes against humanity of the 20th century, its author being the Turkish government of that period.

“Instead of making senseless proposals and brain exercises, Turkey must come to terms with its history, following suit Germany, which admitted its guilt for the Jewish Holocaust. If Çavuşoğlu is not aware, he can get familiarized with the statement of France, Russia and UK on the events of 1915, which already then described Turkey’s actions against the Armenian people as a crime against humanity. He can also read the decision of the Constantinople’s Military Tribunal of 1915, in which the Armenian Genocide was characterized as a crime against humanity and civilization,” he said.

Sharmazanov stressed that instead of dealing with such useless things, Turkey would better make two steps: come to terms with its own history, recognizing the Armenian Genocide, and open the border with Armenia, fulfilling the obligations taken up since 2009.

Earlier, Turkish FM Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu again urged Armenia to set up a committee of historians for studying the events of the early 20th century.
