John McCain: we should condemn Armenian Genocide but look into the future
Republican presidential ex-candidate, U.S. Senator John McCain characterized the Armenian Genocide as an important issue.

"We must condemn the Genocide, but on the other hand, we must look to the future. Nobody can blame the present-day Turkey for the Armenian Genocide," he said 

"Of course, the Genocide issue is important but Turkey is our partner and ally and we need its support in combating the Islamic movement," the senator said, adding that democracy is gradually evolving in Turkey, Haberturk.com reported.
