“Prime Minister Davutoglu’s fake apology today grants no recognition, accepts no responsibility, expresses no regret, and offers no reparations,” the Armenian National Committee of America’s (ANCA) Executive Director Aram Hamparian commented on a recent statement by Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu. 

“Facing a global wave of Armenian Genocide recognition – from the Pope to the European Parliament – Turkey’s leaders are defiantly doubling down on denial,” Hamparian also noted.  

“On April 24th, [U.S.] President Obama has a historic opportunity to reject Turkey’s gag-rule, ending a shameful chapter of U.S. complicity in Ankara’s denial, and moving Turkey, Armenia, and the region toward a better future based upon a truthful and just resolution of this crime,” the ANCA executive director also commented.

In his statement on Monday, Davutoglu had specifically said: “(…) demoting everything to a single word and to put the responsibility solely on the Turkish people and associating it with hate speech is consciously and legally problematic.”
