Nikolai Uskov, editor-in-chief of the Russian edition of GQ (pictured), published a conversation he had with a Turkish businessman during his visit to Istanbul. Uskov titled his post “Cursed national pride.”
“I was recently in Istanbul and sitting at dinner with a major Turkish media businessman. I asked him a question, using all possible civilized means, WHY DON’T YOU APOLOGIZE TO THE ARMENIANS? [caps in original]
– They dug up the corpses of our old men and raped them. It is they who should apologize.
– What about the European Union? Normalization of relations with Greece and Armenia is a condition of EU membership.
– At such a price, we don’t need it.
– What price? At the cost of a couple dozen words?'” wrote Uskov.
