YEREVAN, APRIL 28, ARMENPRESS. Deputy Foreign Minister of Armenia Shavarsh Kocharyan referred to the denialist statement of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, by which he tries to threaten Armenia speculating on the dependence of the local Armenians on the authorities of Turkey.

As “Armenpress” was informed from the press service of MFA Armenia, in answer to the question of Tert.am “How would you comment on the recent announcement of the Turkish president?” Shavarsh Kocharyan mentioned, “That announcement is a confession of that the thinking of the Turkish leadership has not changed even 100 years after the Genocide. The president of Turkey tries to threaten Armenia linking the dependence of the local Armenians on the authorities and the denialist statement issued on April 24. According to that statement, Azerbaijan resembles neither its neighbors, nor Ukraine. Remains to add that Azerbaijan resembles its look alike, Turkey, in terms of its xenophobia, thirst for disseminating wave of instability and bloodshed.

The impulsive statements by both Ankara and Baku demonstrate their deep horror of being internationally isolated as a result of their racist policy”.
