The 100^th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide is only a couple of days away, and Ankara is in a state of crisis since Turkey has lost “the genocide battle” in Europe.

As “Armenpress” reports, this is what analyst for Radikal Serkan Demirtaş in his article, analyzing the commotion that the more active process of international recognition of the Armenian Genocide has caused in Ankara.

Touching upon Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu’s message of condolence issued yesterday, Demirtash emphasized that his statement is apparently different from former Prime Minister and current President of Turkey Recep Tayyib Erdoğan’s message in that it wasn’t issued on April 24^th, but four days in advance.

Mentioning the fact that the Turkish government is strictly concerned about the fact that Germany might also recognize the Armenian Genocide with a resolution to be submitted to the Bundestag on April 24^th and will join European and other countries having recognized the Armenian Genocide, the Turkish commentator noted: “It’s safe to say that Turkey has already lost “the genocide battle” in Europe, which will have a negative impact on the process of Turkey’s EU accession.”
