Turkish President Abdullah Gul roundly condemned the adoption of Armenian Genocide Resolution by the U.S. House Committee on Foreign Affairs on March 4.

“I consider the decision unreasonable. It lacks respect to the Turkish nation. The adopted resolution is far from the historical realities and is incompatible with U.S.-Turkey relations. The present decision will significantly damage the stability and peace in Caucasus, as well as the nations’ efforts to establish long-term good-neighborly relations. I assess this decision, proceeding from the political configuration as injustice to history. After this voting, Turkey does not claim responsibility for negative results in any field,” Gul said.

As NEWS.am reported previously, after discussing the Armenian Genocide Resolution for several hours, the U.S. House Committee on Foreign Affairs held an open voting.

On Armenian delegation were RA Ambassador to the U.S. Tatul Margaryan and ARF Dashnaktsutyun faction leader Vahan Hovhannisyan.

Before the voting end, Turkish Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan left for the presidential residence to discuss the situation with country’s President Abdullah Gul.

Of 46 congressmen 23 voted for, while 22 — against.
