Turkish President Recep Erdogan gave a speech at the dinner organized by the Turkish-American National Steering Committee in New York.
"You know better than anyone what inconveniences have arisen among the Turkish-American community. We must be alert to the mindset that tries to poison the minds of our children and youth by filling school curricula with baseless slander. Your unity and coordination will allow American politicians to know the historical truth. The political use of issues that historians should deal with and the use of various lobbies will not contribute to our efforts towards the normalization of Turkish-American or Armenian-Turkish relations," Erdogan said.
