European Parliament member criticized Genocide Resolution approved by the U.S. House Committee on Foreign Affairs, “saying politicians in Europe and the U.S. should not prejudge the outcome of research by historians on what happened in eastern Anatolia nearly a century ago,” Today’s Zaman reports.

“Both the U.S. and the EU have backed the welcome moves to set up a joint commission of historians from Turkey and Armenia to try and establish the truth about the tragic and large-scale wartime deaths almost a century ago,” reads the statement by Sarah Ludford, British Liberal Democrat MEP.

She also noted, “It makes no sense for outsiders in Europe or America to wade in with hobnail boots and prejudge the outcome of that sensitive exercise.”
