Yerevan/Mediamax/. President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan denied the Armenian Genocide during a press conference at the G20 summit in Argentina.

Agencia Prensa Armenia informs that journalist of Armenian origin asked Erdogan about the rights of minorities in Turkey and added: "I am one of the descendants of the families that suffered the Armenian Genocide."

"Turkey cannot be blamed of having committed a genocide against the Armenians," said Erdogan. "On the question of genocide, please let's leave the discussions to the historians and let's listen to what they have to say. This is not a part of our history and I can very confidently say that and we are ready to get involved in any discussion whatsoever," added Erdogan.

"Do you know how many Armenians live in my country right now? Hundred of thousands. About 30,000 of them are citizens and the rest are undocumented. They have fled Armenia only to settle in Turkey. And we allow them to do so. A total of 100,000 Armenians live in our country. They were never discriminated on the basis of citizenship, we have never deported any Armenians on those grounds. We are very humane in our conduct and we will keep on doing so," said the Turkish President.
