without merit and that it has complied with the agreement natasha butlers in paris and explains why the e.u. has just interrupt this coverage to go live to thank for where we are just watching the turkish president one who is reacting for the 1st time to the u.s. president's recent decision to recognize the mass killings of armenians under the ottoman empire as an act of genocide let's have a listen to what he has to say if people however. that there should be this statement without any fact well all legal grounds the turkish. republic people. standing up to this. turkey have always been

wrongfully. accused of that genocide. these massacres were not perpetrated. turkey. the ottoman empire extended at that time the ball. is within the continent. and there's. more than 10000000 people were killed in those words forced. in. exodus. these are not our statements these are facts stated by history and smaller than 10000000 people were killed or forced to leave their home soil and. you cannot find any of these

figures and any place by any historian. and these facts are not touched of on by any history and historians or. professionals it is true that these incident where unfortunate similarly the muslims have also witnessed unfortunate events on these lands these tragic events cannot be manipulated by the west. we as a people as a government cannot many pilate any of these tragic events these are carved in our hearts however we are looking forward positively to the future.

as i said many were killed. or forced to leave in the balkans we have suffered on lots of sacrifice is all these facts should. be taken into account. and we shouldn't go beyond this point. throughout all the turkish cities victims have fallen. injustice sacrifice is unfortunate events all were lived on these lands however. there is. a unilateral stance adopted by the west against the turkish

against the terrorist operatives in the region. and once again i had a trait all the facts of the past should be taken from day to cater professional historians. many allegations have been raised with respect to the armenians requested on a number of occasions that. the ottoman empire archives will be opened and independent dedicated professional experts be formed a committee to establish the facts however the west is not willing to help they where they are willing to continue to manage pilate

and at the use these historical facts. bravely speaking i would like to. make it. our ancestors. for centuries who. have lived under our. many ethnicities. religions and sects have lived and colluding that remain aeons just the armenians have their own socialist standings and. they live in peace and harmony throughout the times of the ultimate empire however and the last days 13 certain. ethnicities

what instigated by the west. again as they empire. many also on the bottle current state this is. where partitioned. and the ultimate empire. was divided as it is. meaning and gangsters carried out more than 40 terrorist operations. this is on one hand on the other hand those gangsters received both support from the west and from russia and those terrorist groups carried it programs. and massacres.

without any discrimination killing women elderly children and those gang gangs were comprised of more than 300000 per interface as a result many any since. many innocent people were killed. almost 1000000. while yet you turned and it's not the $24000.00 go out. on that day. and land team 15 stanchion know that there was. no knowing you and so. they all agreed to get me. you know there to launch. all terrorist operations again as they imply or.

that period of time. i mean it was you know. the armenian. and the ottoman empire. you know. they lived unfortunate. and students. fortunate events we must respect their feelings we shared their agony and we send. messages of. apathy. and sympathy. and in june new laws were enacted that took.

and as i said massacres were perpetrated on both sides it was almost an old. war if we look at the. area. the people lived very unfortunate events at that time the ottoman empire also was in a state of war and every able man was carrying on the front on the fighting front. only the elderly women and children were left. behind and villagers saw and as a result those armenian gangs took advantage as they raided these villages and killed. all

the residents without any discrimination without mercy women and children. more than 20000 residents were killed and interrupt zone. and other similar places so. many people were killed by the masses. it is true if it were. regular back. fighting and victims who would fall on both sides however it was a one sided terrorist operations gangsters the gangs. the villages cities. and perpetrated these crimes

they later on started to brag on these massacres giving elaborate details of what they had perpetrated. and as a result and as temporary. measure the ottoman empire started to take then the century measures to steer the remaining residents away. from their gang sway that's why that low i told you about was an act it and it's covered all the residents. before world war one. at that time the armenians were 1.3 millions and i'm speaking.

of the record it's not like mr biden. when he speaks not. what is he basing his statements on and our archive we have board then $1000000.00 pieces of documents and we are inviting them to come to visit these documents and then ited states or in europe do they have any documents do they have any records. you know as we speak. we have not received any answer and our request for them to come and visit our archive has not then he did. $350.00 out of them moved. to russia 50000 into iran. and

according to the. united states state states more than 600000 people were covered by that low. and with respect to the demographic change and the graphical one for the territories and habited by. more than 150 people died. of diseases and other epidemics. however these figures on some occasions are. exaggerated similarly and historians. are fully aware. that many of

the armenians who were killed were killed on the fighting front. the ottoman empire did not force the armenians out however or on the contrary it allowed them to move freely within. territories and when they moved certain administering to have measures were put in place. statements were was handed out to all the cities and villages concert. at that time dedicated orphanage was set up for the all foots. the ottoman empire did not spare any assistance relief to

them. the ottoman empire also provided graves to those who were killed by the armenian gangs. however. 300000 armenians lived and the western part. as we speak more than 100000 armenians. living among us. they have always lived with. us. these. numbers. so

much. if the turkish empire the ottoman empire had perpetrated these massacres those armenians wouldn't have come back. and. in. lebanon and. other groups of armenians also moved others moved to the united states or europe. now how fold law is been propagated that those armenians were massacred by the ultimate. they

allege that they were killed because of the law that was in acted at that time. it is also alleged that the situation would have been different if the armenians wouldn't have moved out. at that time the ultimate. that was in a state of war started to stand up to those gangs. needless to say that the situation was getting dark on the fighting forefront. with many scenarios take aim flays. and that's why those gangs were killing innocent people without mercy ruthlessly there is one more fact.

more than 100 years ago. and the current state of armenia. 80 percent more than 80 percent. muslims however. now there is none yes. 30 years ago the mountainous area of course. and that close to as a vision we all know what happened there and based on all these facts i say to mr biden. that.

agreement was concluded by the united states russia and france for more than 30 years. those have been occupying this territory. and unfortunately. more than 1000000 as a book had to leave the area. all the houses in korea back that area that valentine's area was demolished. a few speak of genocide. you have to evaluate your actions there are facts are facts facts are recorded and history facts are recalled.

all these. are list of crystal clear. that's why. wrongly wrongfully. raise the level of genocide again is turkey or the turkish people. ok if you're just joining us that is the turkish president. speaking in he's reacting for the 1st time to the u.s. president's decision recent decision to recognize the mass killings of armenians under the ottoman empire during world war one as an act of genocide that was a statement that the u.s. president joe biden made on saturday well in response the turkish president saying

that the u.s. genocide statement has been made without any factual or legal grounds and that the statement of armenian genocide has upset turkey. and. the u.s. move to recognize the mass killings as genocide has further strained the relations with and korea between the u.s. and turkey let's go to our correspondent. who's been listening in from istanbul so what did you make of that statement from the president was that in line with what you were expecting as the turkish reaction. well actually it was expected i mean so far president iran has been were billy and argumentatively criticizing biden statement and the decision coming from the white house to cognize in the killings of 2 the 1915 as genocide so simply saying that there's

a positions are baseless the numbers that are fabricated and the historical facts are being distorted says not to or timmons implied any genocide over and other nations but they have been executed in balkans and during the 1st world war and that the anatolia is the formal end of the religions and their messages including the armenians but many of the armenian gangs and the groups by that time had been owned by the russians and british forces and they rebelled against the watermen so what that means to stop the mass killings of the turks and muslims they arrested the leaders of these groups and and that was an attempt actually to stop the killings and he says that they have not been killings killed but they have been relocated and the total number of the relocated people is roughly around $600.00 cases but the issue is here in that statement is that that aired last fall for have

not explained or announced any retaliation really action against the u.s. since the world criticism of the biden statement i get many thanks for that russell set of that for us in istanbul let's get quick reaction from our white house correspondent convey hellcat i wonder what you made the president's. statement that in fact what would president biden make of that statement. obviously we haven't had any reaction to this latest statement but it's certainly not going to be a surprise to anyone here in the by administration in fact it's expected that likely this would be sort of the reaction that would come down but the bottom line is is that while many presidents have over the years promised to make the.
