Turkish MP: Adopting resolution on "genocide" in U.S Committee is greatest comedy of recent years

Head of the Foreign Relations Committee of Turkey's Parliament Murat Merjan called approval of resolution recognizing the so-called "Armenian genocide" by the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs as "the greatest comedy", CNN Turk reported.

The U.S. House Committee on Foreign Affairs on Thursday adopted 23 votes to 22 a resolution recognizing the so-called "Armenian genocide,"

Armenia claims that the Ottoman Empire committed "genocide" against Armenians living in Anatolia in 1915.  Making greater efforts to promote the issue internationally, Armenians have achieved its recognition by parliaments of some countries.

Merjan called adopting the resolution "the greatest sitcom in recent years" at a press conference held at the Turkish Embassy in Washington.
