On Thursday, Turkish Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamis Aqsawi denounced what he described as “the hypocrisy of the Syrian Govt” after the Syrian parliament approved the Armenian genocide. Responding to a question about the Syrian parliament adopting earlier Thursday a resolution condemning and recognizing the “genocide” against the Armenians, Aqsoui said, in press statements, “The recognition of the alleged genocide is a farce and a picture of the hypocrisy of a regime that commits all kinds of massacres without discrimination between a child and an adult, Millions of people are made homeless and known for his versatility in using chemical weapons. “
The spokesman considered that the human tragedy caused by the syrian govt “is still ongoing,” saying: “One of the worst disasters in history is happening on our borders,” referring to the situation in the Syrian northwestern province of Idlib. Armenia and the Armenian lobbies around the world in general are demanding that Turkey recognize what happened during the 1915 displacement as “ethnic genocide”, and thus pay compensation.
Turkey denies the possibility of calling the character of “genocide” on the events of 1915, but rather describes it as a “tragedy” for both parties, and calls for dealing with the file away from political conflicts and resolving the issue through the perspective of “fair memory”, which in short means giving up the “unilateral” view To history, each side understood what the other lived, and mutual respect for each other’s memory. Turkey also proposes research on the events of 1915 in the archives of other countries, in addition to the Turkish and Armenian archives, and the establishment of a joint historical committee that includes Turkish and Armenian historians and international experts
