In the run-up to the centennial of the Armenian Genocide, a special committee for combating genocide recognition was set up in Turkey.  

The committee, which was formed under the direct supervision of the Turkish PM, has already taken its first step, reports Hürriyet daily of Turkey.

The committee sent a letter to all the ministries, and requested them to submit proposals to prevent genocide recognition.

It is noted that the respective actions, which are conducted under the leadership of Turkey’s MFA, Ministry for EU Affairs, and the PM’s advisors, aim to counteract the activities by the Armenian diaspora.
