regarding the approval of the Armenian Genocide resolution by the
Swedish Parliament. Gul, in particular, said: "We know very well how
to such decisions are made. We do not attach special significance to
them," he said.

According to Gul the decision was made not by historians. "If you
ask the personal opinions of each who voted in favor, they are will
not utter even three words. Actions and decisions of these people are
motivated by very unimportant reasons. We don’ need to attach too much
importance to all this. We should not exaggerate the significance
of the decisions, which do not cause in us a sense of respect,"the
Turkish president Gul said, TRT-Russian reported.

On March 11 the Swedish Parliament adopted the Armenian Genocide
resolution with 131 votes in favor and 130 against, the resolution
acknowledges also genocides of Assyrians and Pontic Greeks in the
Ottoman Empire (modern Turkey).
