05.03.2010 11:48
Turkish Parliamentary Foreign Relations Committee head Murat Merjan
called the approval of a resolution recognizing the so-called
"Armenian Genocide" by the U.S. House of Representatives Foreign
Affairs Committee "the greatest comedy," CNN Turk reported.

The U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee adopted yesterday with 23 to
22 votes a resolution recognizing the so-called "genocide."

Armenia claims that the Ottoman Empire committed "genocide" against
Armenians living in Anatolia in 1915. Making greater efforts to
promote the issue internationally, Armenians have achieved its
recognition by parliaments in some countries.

Merjan called adopting the resolution "the greatest sitcom in recent
years" at a press conference held at the Turkish Embassy in
Washington.
