YEREVAN. – There is only one solution – recognition of Armenian Genocide by Turkey, President Francois Hollande said commenting on the statement by Turkish PM.

Asked to comment on Erdogan's remarks on the “events of 1915”, Hollande noted that he had already given his assessment.

“I am always trying to see positive things, but the only solution is recognition of the Armenian Genocide by Turkey,” he said during a press conference in Yerevan.

For the first time in Turkey’s history, and ahead of the anniversary of the Armenin Genocide, Turkish PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan condoled with the relatives of the victims of the Genocide. His respective statement, however, did not deviate from Turkey’s official policy of Genocide denial.
