Statement of the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Tanju Bilgiç, in Response to a Question Regarding the Law Amendment on “Criminalizing Denial of Genocide” Adopted by the Greek Cypriot Administration of Southern Cyprus

Republic Of Türkiye Ministry Of Foreign Affairs 02.04.2015

QA-12, 2 April 2015

We deem this act of the Greek Cypriot Administration null and void and not worthy of any comment.

On the other hand, there is no doubt that those who try to abuse the 1915 events on every occasion by exploiting daily and petty political maneuverings will not achieve any results, as it has been the case so far.
