Russian actor to Turks: Have courage and ask for forgiveness (video)
People's Artist of Russia, Alexander Goloborodko, cannot understand why the Turkish government has not been able to accept the truth and apologize to Armenians for the 1915 Genocide by Ottoman Empire. “There is nothing terrible in it. They only need to say, “Forgive us and let us leave everything in the past.” But they [Turks] are afraid to do it. I cannot understand the reasons for Turkey’s resistance,” says the actor. “Recognition of the Armenian Genocide does not step from Turkey’s interests,” says Alexander Semchev, Honored Artist of the Russian Federation. “Very often, we do not want to admit our faults and misdeeds. Perhaps, it is much easier in politics. You can make a fool of yourself and say that you have not committed any crime. But there are facts and evidence and you cannot but admit them. Well, you have committed a heinous crime and now have courage to ask for forgiveness," he said. People's Artist of Russia, Alexander Korshunov, says the entire world should recognize the Armenian Genocide to exclude the repetition of the crime in the future.
