“Statements inconsistent with historical fact and international law regarding the events of 1915 are not valid. This includes U.S. President Biden’s unfortunate statement today, which is a repeat of the mistake he made in 2021 We reject such statements and rulings that distort historical facts with political motives, and we condemn those who insist on this error.
“WE REJECT ATTEMPTS TO MAKE THESE PAINS AS POLITICAL MATERIAL”
One-sided and selective approaches that have no other purpose than to attract the hostility of history are morally problematic and politically malicious. A humanitarian and conscientious stance requires commemorating all the suffering experienced at that time, regardless of any ethnic or religious discrimination. Turkey respectfully commemorates the sufferings of the entire Ottoman population, including the Armenians. We reject attempts to use this pain as political material.
“A FAIR MEMORY MUST BACK”
Turkey is of the view that controversial periods of history such as the events of 1915 should be studied without prejudice, within the framework of scientific and legal principles, and a correct memory should be achieved. With this in mind, Turkey proposed the creation of a joint historical commission and opened its archives.
Turkey strives for peace and stability to prevail in its region and in the world, and the spirit of cooperation is at the forefront. The normalization initiative initiated with Armenia is another manifestation of this agreement.”

“Some Western leaders have recently argued that ‘genocide’ can only be determined by a court order. It’s true! The use of the word ‘genocide’ by the same people for the events of #1915 with political motives without a competent court order is the most obvious example of their hypocrisy.”
