/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkey is preparing alternatives in response to
passage of Armenian Genocide resolution in foreign parliaments.

According to Turkish Foreign Affairs Ministry spokesman Burak
Ozugergin, in future Turkey might resort to the standards of
international law. As he noted, parliament is not the right place to
discuss historic issues.

The resolution can have a negative effect on bilateral relations,
TRT-Russian cited the spokesman as saying.

On March 4, 2010, with a vote of 23 to 22, the House Foreign Relations
Committee successfully passed House Resolution 252 (H. Res. 252)
pushing the Resolution in Congress for a final vote yet to be
scheduled.

On March 11, 2010, the Swedish Parliament recognized the Armenian
Genocide in Ottoman Empire in 1915 by 131 votes in favor and 130
against,
