YEREVAN. – Ankara's initiative to mark the centenary of the Gallipoli battle on April 24, 2015 will hardly have many supporters in the world and many people will realize what a cynic country Turkey is, MP Tevan Poghosyan believes.

The only creative thought was to celebrate one of their victories on the day marking centennial of the Armenian Genocide, Poghosyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

Earlier it was reported that Turkish leader Erdogan announced April 24 a day marking the centenary of the Gallipoli battle on April 24, 2015. He said world leaders will be invited to attend the events.

“This is the highest degree of cynicism. The first reports on the initiative first appeared last June. At this time we were on a friendly visit to UK, and even British MPs expressed a very negative attitude,” said Poghosyan, secretary of Heritage faction.

The MP assured that the initiative will hardy have supporters, and, once again will reveal the real image of Turkey. Many people will realize that Turkey is cynical, that it has not changed its policy of denial and is not ready to face its own history.

“Thus, Turkey officials damaged their image rather than facilitated implementation of the denial policy,” Poghosyan emphasized.
