The Turkish Labor Party (EMEK) disseminated a statement with regard to the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.  

The statement calls the actions of the Young Turks in 1915 as a deliberate policy aimed at cleaning Turkey from non-Turks and non-Muslims. 

“EMEK party shares the pain of the Armenians and other nations who suffered the Genocide. Without recognizing the Armenian Genocide, without liquidating racist policy, Turkey can’t democratize,” EMEK statement reads.
