Turkey condemns Argentinean Senate’s ‘genocide’ resolution:
ANK – Turkish Daily News
The Turkish Foreign Ministry yesterday condemned a resolution
approved by the Argentinean Senate on April 20 in which Turkey was
accused of committing genocide against Armenians between 1915 and
1923.
The ministry said in a written statement that Turkish officials
had told Argentinean officials beforehand about the possible
negative impact of such a resolution.
“It is obviously irresponsible for the Argentinean Senate to
approve a resolution full of factual errors by following activities
aiming at political interests despite our efforts,” the statement
said. It added that countries which wished the normalization of
Turkish-Armenian relations should support Ankara’s proposal to set
up a joint research committee to discuss and investigate the tragic
events of World War I.
