ANKARA
The leaders of two major Turkish opposition parties on Wednesday slammed the U.S. House of Representatives passing a resolution recognizing the so-called “Armenian genocide” as well as a bill backing sanctions on Ankara.
On Tuesday, the U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed a resolution recognizing the so-called “Armenian genocide.”
“We once again strongly reject the U.S. House of Representatives resolution, and stress that decisions taken by parliaments should not cause new tensions in our region,” Kemal Kilicdaroglu, leader of the Republican People’s Party (CHP), said in a written statement.
