Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan offered his condolences on behalf of turkey to the descendants of the victims over the killings of Armenians in 1915 during world war 1 by ottoman soldiers.
On the eve of the 99th anniversary of the highly controversial topic which has been consistently denied by Turkey , Erdogan un
expectedly described the events of 1915 as "inhumane" and offered his condolences to the grandchildren of those that died.
The exact nature and scale of killings is highly controversial and continues to sour relations between Turkey and Armenia till this day. It is believed that more than 1.5 million Armenians were systematically killed in present day Turkey.
