ISTANBUL — Turkey said Friday that it rejected and condemned Russian President Vladimir Putin calling the 1915 mass killings of Armenians by Ottoman Turks a genocide.
"Considering the mass killings, exiles … that Russia has carried out in the Caucasus, Central Asia and in eastern Europe over the past century … we think it should be the one that knows best what a genocide is and what its legal dimensions are," a foreign ministry statement said.
… we have a small favor to ask.
