Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan reportedly complained about Armenia's position on the 1915 Armenian genocide in the Ottoman Empire in a phone call with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin late on Tuesday.
News reports quoting unnamed Turkish government sources said Erdogan brought up the mass killings and deportations of Armenians during the 30-minute conversation that also touched on Russian-Turkish relations and the crisis in Ukraine.
According to the Anatolia news agency, Erdogan told Putin that the genocide issue should be tackled from a "fair perspective." The agency said the Turkish leader also criticized Yerevan for not accepting his proposal to set up a Turkish-Armenian commission of historians tasked with looking into the events of 1915. It gave no further details.
