/PanARMENIAN.Net/ On 14 October, Mesrob Mutafyan, Patriarch of Turkish
Armenians, voiced opposition to the Armenian Genocide Resolution
which was approved by the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on
Foreign Affairs.

Patriarch Mutafyan visited the Santa Clause Church in Demre town of the
southern city of Antalya. He told reporters that the resolution became
"a tool of domestic policy in the United States", and called on people
to exclude Turkish citizens of Armenian origin from discussions over
the issue.

He promised to do everything in his power to prevent passage of the
resolution by the full House.

Recalling that Prime Minister Erdogan earlier proposed Armenia to set
up a joint commission of historians to deal with the issue, Mutafyan
added that it was "a significant offer", Anatolia News Agency reports.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
