Turkey’s Gul released official statement against approved Armenian
Genocide Resolution
Turkey’s Abdullah Gul released an official statement on the U.S. House
Committee on Foreign Affairs approving the resolution 252 recognizing
the Armenian Genocide. The official message, which is available on
Turkish President’s official web site, states:
`I consider the decision unreasonable and I regret it. It lacks
respect to the Turkish nation. The adopted resolution is far from the
historical realities and is incompatible with Armenia-Turkey
relations. The decision will significantly damage the stability and
peace in Caucasus, as well as the nations’ efforts to establish
long-term good-neighborly relations. I see this decision, following
the political configuration, as injustice to history. After this
voting, Turkey does not claim responsibility for negative results in
any sphere,’ Gul said.
