“It was not genocide. It was relocation which caused painful events,” Dikran Kevorkyan, chairman of Kandilli Armenian Foundation, said on Saturday. Speaking at a conference in Istanbul on the Armenian issue, Kevorkyan said, “it was not genocide. It was relocation which caused painful and tragic events. We should underline the fact that political, psychological and economic developments led to the relocation.”

Highlighting importance of mutual tolerance and understanding, Kevorkyan noted, “several countries approved some resolutions about genocide in order to get votes of the Armenian diaspora. All those are political matters. France, Germany, Britain, Russia and indirectly the United States have always used the Armenians.
Today, they are trying to pay its price. They approve those resolutions to cover their
mistakes. I do not approve politicians' inciting hatred among people for their own political purposes.”
