Turkish historian: Biden’s statement on so-called ‘genocide’ reflects only political view of events

“The statement of US President Joe Biden on the so-called ‘Armenian genocide’ reflects only a political view of the events of 1915. Everyone knows that about 30 countries recognized it as genocide. This is just a method of psychological assistance to the Armenian community. In order for the claims to reach the legal level, a decision of an international court, relevant documents, materials and scientific research are needed,” well-known Turkish historian and political scientist Hasan Koni told the Turkish bureau of Report.

“The Armenians are well aware that the Turkish side has so far provided information and documents based on all scientific grounds. However, they, especially those living in the West, are trying to justify their aggression against Azerbaijan, their actions during the First and Second Karabakh wars, the Khojaly massacre, and propaganda against Turkey. On the other hand, one of their goals is to receive financial assistance and compensation,” the historian said.
