Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday called for an impartial study by historians of claims that more than 1 million Armenians were slaughtered by Turkish troops in a genocide during and after World War I.
“We have opened our official archives to those people who claim there was genocide,” the Turkish leader said.
Armenians say 1.5 million of their kin perished between 1915 and 1923 at the hands of Ottoman Turks.
