Turkish president on aproval of Armenian resolution.
Turkish President Abdullah Gulsaid about approval of the resolution on Armenian allegations by the US House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs, “no one can force Turkey to accept anything with threats and pressure.”
President Gul told reporters, “this decision does not have any value in the eyes of the Turkish people. How do politicians in such a big country like the USA use their votes? We are face to face with politicians who can cast their votes against an allied country in order to get a few votes from the diaspora in their region. If you ask them, they cannot talk about the issue for three minutes. When did it happen, where did it take place, how did it happen? The most worrying aspect of this is that these are the politicians of a country which shapes the world policy. No one can force Turkey to accept anything with threats and pressure. This decision is nothing but an attempt to hamper Turkey’s initiates to ensure peace and stability in the region and to create a zone of cooperation in the Caucasus.”
The US House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs approved the resolution on Armenian allegations on Thursday. The committee approved the resolution on incidents of 1915 with 23 votes against 22.
