     Pope Francis on Sunday titled the slaughter of the Armenian Genocide "the first genocide of the 20th century" and encouraged the international community to recognize it as well. This upset and surprised Turkey, showing that they must have not been prepared for such a truthful justice. By making this statement it shows Pope Francis' true character and longing for justice. Turkey, which has always denied the obvious massacre of the nation of Armenia, immediately called upon the Vatican ambassador to complain and mentioned that the country would let out an official response later in the day. Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu responded to the Pope's statement by saying "The Pope's statement which is far from historic and legal truths is unacceptable". Pope Francis, who had a close connection to Armenia from his days in Armenia, mentioned that it was his duty to speak upon the memory of the innocent men, woman and children who were "senselessly" massacred by Ottoman Turkey. Francis' words had an immediate effect on St. Peters, where the head of the Armenian Apostolic Church, Aram I thanked the Pope for admitting it as a Genocide.
     "Concealing or denying evil is like allowing a wound to keep bleeding without bandaging it". This quote by Pope Francis is connected with "Silence encourages the tormentor, not the tormented". The best advice for Turkey at this point would to accept the fact that the Armenian Genocide actually did occur and there is no way they could continue to run away from it.
