Turkey condemns the US Senate resolution on Armenian claims, saying it is a destructive attempt at helping improve relations with Washington
The Democratic-led House of Representatives passed the resolution by an overwhelming majority in October but a vote in the Senate was repeatedly blocked by President Donald Trump's fellow Republican senators.
The resolution asserted that "it is the policy" of the US to commemorate the alleged 'genocide' "through official recognition and remembrance." Turkish Foreign Ministry has slammed US resolution on 1915 Armenian events, saying move is shameful example of how history can be politicized Turkish presidential spokesman Ibrahim Kalin also said on his personal Twitter account that US resolution on Armenian claims is null and void and it will not change Turkey’s stance on political, economic and military realms.
