    Discussion of adoption of the in the so-called "Armenian genocide"
    in the world's parliaments is a very serious matter, Chief of General
    Staff of Turkish Army Ilker Bashbug said.

    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.
