“Russia has supported massacres against the Ottoman Turks since the second half of the 19th century,” said the Ambassador of Türkiye to Azerbaijan Cahit Bağçı at the conference on "So-called Armenian Genocide: Allegations and Realities" held at the Azerbaijan State University of Economics, Paralel.Az reports.

The Ambassador said that Armenians joined the Russian army or were involved in cooperation with them: “At that time, Armenians were used more in violation activities. This support did not go unanswered. The Russian army began to settle in the south of the empire. A life-and-death war began in the region as a result of the law passed in Tsarist Russia in 1915.”

Cahit Bağçı noted that it does not make any sense for Armenians to present the events that happened in the last days of the Ottoman Empire as genocide
