LJUBLJANA. – Turkish PM Recep Erdogan touched upon the Armenian Genocide issue and Turkey’s joining the EU being on official visit in Slovenia.

 Erdogan claims that Turkey opened archives in connection to the Armenian issue, Turkish Haberturk reports.

“If Armenia has documents, make them available. If studies prove to face our history, we are ready to,” Erdogan said.

As for reports that Turkey cannot join the EU unless the Armenian issue is solved, the Turkish PM believes it does not correspond to reality.

The fact of Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Turkey has been recognized by many European and American countries, majority of the U.S. states as well as international organizations.
