US House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner, who is visiting Turkey, met with Turkish Parliament Speaker Cemil Cicek, who spoke about the Armenian resolution that is introduced to the US Senate.

Cicek noted that, in the context of American-Turkish relations, Turkey is yet again concerned by the new Armenian resolution that has entered into the US Senate, reported Aksam daily of Turkey.

“The Armenian genocide issue has become a burden on our relations. Once the month of April comes every year, this topic creates a bad climate in our relations. 

“Parliaments need to build the today and the tomorrow. We are ready to confront our history. Let scholars, historians study this topic, and we are ready to accept the outcome; we have announced this to the world,” Cemil Cicek specifically said.  

The new resolution, which has been introduced to the US Senate, urges the US President to recognize the events in 1915 as genocide.
