Turkey warns Belgium over consequences of resolution on Armenian genocide –

Turkey has warned that adoption of a resolution condemning the centennial anniversary of Anatolian Armenians deaths during the World War I as genocide by the Belgian Chamber of Deputies will have a deep impact on bilateral relations between the two countries.

With the Armenian Genocide Recognition resolution adopted by the Belgian Chamber of Deputies on July 23, the Turkish Foreign Ministry in a written statement condemned the resolution. Turkey has once more been “unfairly indicted, historical facts have been distorted and law has been ignored,” the Turkish Foreign Ministry said in a written statement released on July 24.

“It should be understood that this and similar decisions that have been made do not serve the Turkish-Armenian conciliation in any way,” the ministry concluded in its statement.
