Armenian–Turkish reconciliation will stop, Erdogan threatens
“Turkey is sorry for the approval of the Armenian Genocide resolution by the US House of Foreign Affairs Committee”, - the statement of the Turkish Government reads.
Yesterday the US House of Foreign Affairs Committee accepted the H.Res.252 - Armenian Genocide Resolution.
"We condemn this resolution which charges Turkish nation with a crime that it did not commit. Under the influence of political motives, supporters of this resolution have taken a wrong and unjust stance ignoring historical facts and difference of opinion among experts. We have serious concerns that the resolution that was passed regardless our warnings will badly influence the Armenian – Turkish relations and will lead to a deadlock", - the statement of the Turkish Government reads.
Just after the passage of the resolution Turkey has called back his envoy to the US for consultations.
