"I salute the Turks who saved Armenians in 1915 and am encouraged by the dialogue among Turks and Armenians, and within Turkey itself, regarding this painful history," he said. "Together, the Turkish and Armenian people will be stronger as they acknowledge their common history and recognise their common humanity."
„Odajem priznanje Turcima koji su spašavali Jermene 1915. godine i ohrabren sam dijalogom između Turaka i Jermena, kao i unutar same Turske, u vezi sa tim bolnim periodom istorije“, rekao je on. „Turski i jermenski narod zajedno će biti snažniji kada priznaju svoju zajedničku istoriju i prepoznaju svoje zajedničko čovekoljublje.“
