Turkish Minister of Economy, Turkey's Special Representative at the talks with the EU Ali Babacan said that Ankara will acknowledge the Armenian Genocide only in case the joint Armenian-Turkish commission of historians confirms the fact. Babacan said it in an interview published by Handelsblad Dutch newspaper and titled "Genocide Recognition by Turkey Not Ruled Out". When asked, whether the Turkish government can admit a decision that will characterize the events taken place at the beginning of the 20th century as Genocide, the Turkish Minister said, "Yes, we will agree with any decision." At the same time Babacan censured the resolution on the Armenian Genocide adopted by the European Parliament and said that "parliamentarians are not historians and the European Parliament is not the institution to announce what really happened." According to him, "all the Turkish archives are open for scientists and Turkey's proposal on formation of a joint commission of historians is still valid," reported Mediamax.
