Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian on Thursday denounced Turkey's furious reaction to the European Parliament's latest calls for an official Turkish recognition of the 1915 Armenian genocide in the Ottoman Empire.
Nalbandian also said that a corresponding resolution adopted by the European Union's legislative body as well as a similar statement made by Pope Francis show that Ankara is finding itself "increasingly isolated on the sinking ship of denialism."
"Turkey is trying to exert pressure on and, I would even say, blackmail numerous countries and international structures," he said in comments to RFE/RL's Armenian service (Azatutyun.am). "But it will hardly succeed on this issue."
