No effort to distort historical facts is able to deny indisputable truth, Catholicos of Cilicia Aram I said on Thursday in response to Turkish Prime Minister Recept Erdogan's Wednesday statement.
"What happened in Turkey in 1915 was not a consequence of a war but a genocide against Armenians in both political and legal sense – a genocide organized by Tallat Pasa and Enver Pasa. So, we expect from Turkey recognition and compensation rather than condolences or moral preaching," His Holiness said in Facebook.
