Turkey’s MFA issued a statement regarding the adoption of the resolution on Armenian Genocide by the European Parliament.

According to the statement, “the European Parliament repeated exactly a mistake it has made in the past in an incompatible way with international law and exceeding its competence.”

Turkey’s MFA urges Members of the European Parliament “to encounter their own past and remember especially their roles and responsibilities in World War I and World War II, well before dealing with the 1915 issue.”
