Presidency’s Communications Director Prof. Fahrettin Altun slammed the Italian parliament’s move to declare the 1915 events as “so-called Armenian genocide”.
On Twitter, Prof. Altun said: “We strongly condemn the Italian parliament’s most recent attempt at distorting and politicizing our nation’s history. The Italian parliament's move is unproductive, hostile and deplorable. Instead of attacking each other’s memories, we must all work together to ensure that truth prevails over fiction.”
