Turkey calls for a boycott on US made products following a US senate
committee’s resolution labeling the 1915 Armenian incident genocide.
A Turkish Consumers’ Union spokesperson on Thursday called on Turkish
nationals to reject all US manufactured products following The US
House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee’s approval of
labeling the 1995 Armenian incident "genocide."
According to Xinhua, Bulent Deniz, a Consumers Union spokesperson,
in a written statement said that "we decided not to use US-made
products to protest the approval of the resolution by the US House
Foreign Affairs Committee."
The US House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee on Wednesday
approved the resolution by 27 votes to 21.
