/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkish Prime Minister scorned Wednesday the adoption
of two resolutions by the Swedish parliament and a U.S. House panel
recognizing the Armenian Genocide, Anatolian News Agency reported.
"Turkey had nothing in its past to be ashamed of," Recep Tayyip
Erdogan said in a televised address to the nation.
"Neither Sweden nor the United States had nothing to do with the
incidents that occurred nearly a century ago. And once you make history
a mere tool for politics, you might never be able to find the truth
again," he said. "Turkey has always stated that history should be
left up to historians."
