YEREVAN, APRIL 24, ARMENPRESS. Turkey’s Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu, who is on a visit to Uruguay, mocked demonstrators outside the Turkish diplomatic representation who gathered to demand recognition of the Armenian Genocide on the eve of the Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day.

A video posted on Twitter shows how demonstrators were shouting “asesino” – meaning murderer in Spanish, when Cavusoglu exited the building and was about to be driven away.
