The Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has exposed his racial contempt for Armenians, a resident minority who were massacred by his country in the world’s first state genocide 99 years ago.

Here’s what Erdogan said: ‘I was called a Georgian. I apologize for this, but they even said [something] worse: They called me an Armenian.’

This man needs to be put into international isolation.

    I was in Yerevan in May and they are already preparing for the 100th anniversary of the Turkish genocide when over one million Armenians were massacred.

    President Hollande laid a beautiful wreath at the hill top memorial overlooking the city.
