A Turkish Foreign Ministry spokesman on Wednesday said Turkey
considered resorting to international law as an option in its efforts
to head off foreign parliaments from affirming Armenian Genocide of
1915 in the Ottoman Empire.
"We are evaluating all options and appealing to international law
is one of them," Burak Ozugergin told reporters at a weekly press
briefing.
Swedish parliament approved earlier this month a resolution that
confirmed Armenian Genocide just a week after the U.S. House foreign
affairs panel adopted a similar resolution.
Ozugergin said such resolutions "did harm" to Turkey’s relations with
countries which approved them as well as with Armenia.
