Today’s growing level of international crime is connected with the genocide of Armenians, President of the Czech Republic Miloš Zeman has said at a Q&A session following his address to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE).

"The level of international crime is growing because of Islamic terrorism. I am open and frank, and I do not use the phrase "Islamic terrorism" lightly but, in the overwhelming majority of cases, it has Islamic origin. It is connected with genocide of Armenians," Mr. Zaman said, n response to a question from Armenian lawmaker Arpine Hovhannisyan, Public Radio of Armenia reports. 

"I was heavily criticized when I declared the same thing as France did, for instance, but as the Assembly knows, the French Parliament even adopted a law about that genocide. On the other side, I have been criticized for having a good economic relationship with Azerbaijan. I am probably Jekyll and Hyde, but nobody knows who is Jekyll and who is Hyde," Miloš Zeman added.
