Erdogan: Turkey's ancestors never committed genocide
On the eve of the day marking the centenary of the Ottoman massacres of Armenians, Turkey's president said Thursday his nation's ancestors never committed genocide.
Addressing a meeting billed as an international peace summit Thursday, Recep Tayyip Erdogan also accused the international community of indifference toward refugees and wanting migrants to drown at sea. "The Armenian claims on the 1915 events, and especially the numbers put forward, are all baseless and groundless," Erdogan said. "I say, we're ready to open our military archives. We have no fear, no worries on this subject. Our ancestors did not persecute."
