A Strange Visit: Ümit Özdağ at the Armenian Patriarchate
Victory Party Chairman Ümit Özdağ, who frequently shares nationalist posts on his social media accounts, visited the Armenian Patriarchate of Turkey. According to the statement made by the Patriarchate, Özdağ emphasized that the majority of the centuries-long experience of coexistence passed with good relations and stated that some periods in the past were disrupted by "imperialist provocations." Patriarch Maşalyan, on the other hand, emphasized that expressions that occasionally turn into hate speech in society disturb the youth of Turkey's Armenian community in particular.
