NATO Ally Turkey Blasts Biden As ‘Worthless Opportunist’ For Armenian Genocide Remembrance

The Turkish government slammed President Joe Biden and other leaders Monday who recognized the Armenian genocide, calling them “worthless opportunist politicians.”

Biden released a statement Monday to mark the 108th anniversary of the start of the Armenian genocide, during which the Ottoman Empire killed between 800,000 and 1,500,000 Armenians, mostly Christian, to establish a Turkish and Muslim ethnostate. The Turkish government denies that the events that took place were a genocide, despite 34 countries across the world and an overwhelming majority of academics and historians classifying it as such.
