Armenians were killed by our hands and now we are punished for our sins. Chhairman of the Diyarbakir Chamber of Industry and Commerce Glip Ensarioglu stated.
At a conference on Kurdish issues, Halip Ensarioglu criticized Kurds, stressing they became a tool in the hands of Turks in the early 20th century and massacred Armenians and other non-Muslim nations.
“As a society, we bear punishment for our sins. We became a tool in the hands of young Turks, when they decided to form a nation-state and became standers-by of their actions against Armenian and other non-Muslim people. At that time, 25 % of the local population were non Muslims. Armenians were killed by our hands,” the official stressed.
