Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu met his Swedish counterpart Carl Bildt within the framework of the unofficial meeting of EU Foreign Ministers in Finland. The officials spoke of the approval of the Armenian Genocide Resolution by Swedish Parliament.

After the meeting Davutoglu answered journalists’ questions, Turkish Vatan newspaper reports. “In our opinion such decision is incorrect. We cannot accept such decisions on historical events by Parliaments. We did not expect such a decision from the akin Parliament. I conveyed our expectations of Sweden to Mr. Bildt,” he noted.

Asked about the measures Turkey might take in case of Armenian Genocide recognition by other European Parliaments, Turkish FM replied: “Turkey will take a tougher line. The decisions both by U.S. and Sweden are unserious. Obviously, some diplomatic circles wish to take revenge on Turkey. Mr. Bildt also shared this viewpoint.”
