99 - all you should know about the Genocide April, 2014 | Page 117

Our main weapon is
the isolation of Turkey,
that is, to make a large
number of countries
recognize the Genocide.
As a result, Turkey will
have no choice but to
accept it. In the West,
the most dangerous
thing to us is relativism,
which Turkey can push
forward. According
to this version, both
sides suffered losses.
In this case, of course,
the West will try to
empathize with both
sides. We need to have
a hard position – there
is no second victim in
this case. This is the
most important part
of our position.
