Turkish army concerned over discussion of "Armenian genocide" in the world's parliaments

Turkey is very sensitive to this kind of decision, he said at today's news conference.

A week after the adoption of the resolution on "Armenian genocide" by the U.S. Congress's committee, the Swedish parliament by a margin of one vote, approved the document that recognizes the so-called "genocide."

As a sign of protest against the adoption of the resolution on "genocide" by the Swedish Parliament and the U.S. Congress, Ankara recalled its envoys from these countries.

Bashbug said the Turkish army fully supports all diplomatic steps of Ankara, taken against the decisions of the Swedish Parliament and the U.S. Congress.

"The Turkish Army, as well as the Turkish Foreign Ministry, is very concerned about this issue," he said.

The officials of the U.S. State Department and the Swedish government called the parliament's decision to approve the resolution on "genocide" as mistake.
