Gul: Armenian Genocide not the job for politicians
If U.S. President-elect Barack Obama recognizes the Armenian Genocide, it will be recognition of "non-existing thing as an existing one," the Turkish President said.

"Actually, this is not the job of politicians. No one should forget that Turks and Armenians had lived together in peace for centuries," Abdullah Gul told Belgian Le Vif/L'Express magazine.

"There was not a single problem between the two nations except for the situation during World War I," Gul said.
