Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan again offered on Friday his condolences to the descendants of Armenians killed in the Ottoman Empire a century ago one day after justifying their mass deportations ordered by the regime of "the Young Turks."
“I once again respectfully commemorate all the Ottoman Armenians who lost their lives amid the conditions of the First World War and extend my condolences to their children and grandchildren,” he said in a written message that was read out during a memorial service for the victims held at an Armenian church in Istanbul.
"I sincerely share your pain. Please rest assured also that our hearts remain wide open to the grandchildren of the Ottoman Armenians all around the world," read the message cited by "Hurriyet Daily News."
