YEREVAN. – Collective denial is more threatening and dangerous then individual one, French President Nikolas Sarkozy stated in Tsitsernakaberd Memorial of Armenian Genocide Victims on Thursday. Sarkozy arrived in Armenia on two days’ official visit.

According to him, Turkey is a great state and should be able to face both bright and dark pages of its history directly.

“Turkey should act exactly the same way as Germany. States become stronger when they admit and recognize their history,” Sarkozy stated.
