In his latest article, anti-Armenian journalist and columnist Emin Colasan of Turkey’s Sozcu nationalist daily harshly criticized Turkish FM Ahmet Davutoglu’s statements that were made en route to his visit to Armenia.   

Commenting on Davutoglu’s statement, according to which, “We [i.e., Turkey] do not condone the deportation [of the Armenians in 1915]. It was an inhumane act. What the Ittihadists [i.e., the Young Turks] had done was a completely wrong action,” Colasan argued that Davutoglu does not know history.  

The Sozcu columnist attempted to persuade the readers that the Armenians had betrayed the Ottoman state during the First World War, and therefore the authorities were obligated to remove the Armenians from the war zone. 

“Davutoglu has not said solely one thing: ‘Yes, we have committed genocide, and we apologize from the Armenians and the entire world.’ Don’t be surprised if one day he would say such a thing,” Emin Colasan wrote in sarcasm.
