Statement by the President of the Republic of Turkey concerning the passage of H.RES. 252 in the US House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs:
"I regret this decision which I find to be devoid of all reason.
The decision has no credibility vis-à-vis the Turkish public.
The adoption of this text, which is one-sided and far from historical truth, by the United States House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs was not an action befitting Turkey-US relations. This development will damage the ongoing efforts towards establishing peace and stability in the South Caucasus and for lasting friendly relations between peoples.
I consider this decision, taken for political gains, as an injustice to history and the science of history.
Turkey will not be responsible for the adverse consequences this vote may cause in all areas."
