Turkey is taking its last breaths... it's trying to shut everyone up, but it's not working. Last month it was Germany. Last week, they condemned Poland's move to recognize the genocide. And today, it's Russia!

Despite a Foreign Ministry statement condemning and rejecting the Russian Duma's recognition of the so-called Armenian genocide claims, Armenians in Russia declare that they've unveiled 'genocide' monuments, an act that escalates the tension and further damages relations between Ankara and Moscow
The Turkish Foreign Ministry issued a written announcement on Tuesday condemning and rejecting the Russian Duma's recognition last Friday of the so-called Armenian genocide claims.
"Recognition of the event, which is a strained reflection of mutual sorrows and pains of Armenians and Turks, by a state that knows the conditions of World War I is incomprehensible," said the Foreign Ministry in its announcement.
The statement went on to mention that recognition of the Armenian claims of genocide by the Duma is contrary to developing relations between Ankara and Moscow, and added, "Turkey believes that historians will come to a well-balanced conclusion on this controversial problem. This is why Turkey has encouraged a constructive and well-intentioned undertaking to gather Armenian and Turkish historians together to investigate the events and developments of 1915, and to examine archives in other states."
The announcement went on to say that the Russian Duma, rather than supporting the well-intentioned undertaking, had made an announcement which is contrary to the need of cultivating good and friendly feelings between the public these days and generations to come. "It's an ill-fated declaration that also contradicts attempts to attain peace and stability in our region, and with good neighborhood relations," it added.
Armenians unveil 'genocide' monuments in Russia
Despite Tuesday's Foreign Ministry statement condemning and rejecting the Duma's recognition, Armenians in Russia declared on Tuesday that they've unveiled "genocide" monuments, an act that escalates the tension and further damages bilateral relations between Turkey and Russia.
Armenians living in Russia stated that they unveiled monuments in Krasnodar and Stavropol to commemorate the so-called genocide.
According to news published on the Russian Southern Federal District's website, Armenians unveiled their monuments in Stavropol and Krasnodar with the permission of Pyatigorsk's local administration.
The cities of Stavropol and Krasnodar are located on the Black Sea and are known to have many people of Armenian descent living there.
