Turkey is nervous after EP adopted Resolution on Armenian Genocide

Armenia welcomes the European Parliament Resolution on the Centenary of the Armenian Genocide. As Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian stated on Wednesday, “the Resolution contains an important message to Turkey to use the commemoration of the Centenary of the Armenian Genocide to come to terms with its past, to recognize the Armenian Genocide and thus pave the way for a genuine reconciliation between Turkish and Armenian peoples.”

Turkey’s Foreign Ministry also reacted to the European Parliament’s Resolution. In a statement, it said that the European Parliament aspired once again to rewrite history. The Turkish MFA urged the Members of the European Parliament to “encounter their own past and remember especially their roles and responsibilities in the most abhorrent calamities of humanity such as World War I and World War II,” Haykakan Zhamanak writes.
