YEREVAN, March 12, ARMENPRESS. After the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide Turkish authorities made a decision to hold events on 101th anniversary of Gallipoli Battle traditionally on March 18. 'Armenpres' reports citing Anadolu agency that the first repetition of the events has already been made. The last repititions of the events will be carried out on March 16-17.

Offiial Ankara announced on holding the events on 100th anniversary of Gallipoli Battle on April 24 by the purpose to overshadow the events in memory of the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. However, previously the mentioned events had never been counducted on March 18. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan  invited heads of more than 100 countries, including Armenia President Serzh Sargsyan to attend the events on Gallipoli battle on April 24.

Anyway, the regular Turkish diplomatic trick did not have a sussess as leaders of the Super Powers primarily preferred to visit Armenia on April 24 to commemorate the memory of victims of the Armenian Genocide.
