The Turkish Grand National Assembly reacted against the Canadian
House of Commons decision which recognized the so-called Armenian
genocide. In a letter to the Canadian House of Commons, National
Assembly Speaker Bulent Arinc said: This decision runs counter to
the efforts to normalize Turkish-Armenian relations in a sensitive
place in the world.
In his letter, Arinc said that describing the 1915 events on the
basis of distorted historical data as genocide is an inexcusable
mistake. Harshly condemning the one-sided and erroneous decision of
the Canadian House of Commons, Arinc demanded that this mistake be
corrected as soon as possible.
