YEREVAN. – Turkish FM Ahmet Davutoglu’s visit to Armenia on Thursday was a show prepared by Turkey.  

Ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) MP Mkrtich Minasyan noted the above-said at a press conference on Saturday.

In his words, Davutoglu wanted to portray that he wishes to even out the attitudes of both nations.  

“It [i.e., the visit] was just bait, a childish [one], at that. His statement, according to which they had responded to the Armenians’ ‘betrayal’ with deportation [in 1915] is ridiculous.

“I believe the civilized mankind really knows what transpired [in those years]. It is simply impossible to distort history to that degree,” Minasyan noted.     

According to the RPA MP, the Turkish authorities have a problem of grasping whether or not they can find the strength in themselves to accept the historical truth without making shows and “juggling.” 

“If Turkey wants to become a truly civilized country, it needs to look at the truth without fake and distracting glasses,” Mkrtich Minasyan argued.
