Anadolu Agency: 2/9/2005
ANKARA - Youth Party of Armenia leader Sargis Asatryan, and Arsen Ghazaryan, President of the Union of Manufacturers and Businessmen of Armenia, met Ankara Trade Chamber (ATO) Chairman Sinan Aygun on Wednesday.
When Aygun asked Asatryan whether he accepted so-called Armenians genocide in 1915, Asatryan said that, ''Turkey did not have any connection with Ottomans. Many things were experienced and passed. 1,5 million people were killed, they say. Years have passed. These are incidents which happened in sultanate and war period. Now, Turkey is a democratic country and we have forgotten these incidents.''
Asatryan said, ''we do not want anybody to intervene in development of Turkey-Armenia relations. Third countries like the United States, France, Azerbaijan, Uruguay and China should not intervene in relations between Turkey and Armenia.'' "
