/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Expressing regret over the passage
of a resolution by the Chilean Senate recognizing the
Armenian Genocide, Turkey emphasized that the
resolution's text is full of incorrect information.
`As is known, in his April 30 speech UN
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon stated that the UN does
not have official position regarding the 1915
incidents. We condemn and reject the resolution of the
Chilean Senate, which serves to distort history for
political purposes. We consider the Chilean Senate's
resolution to be an attitude casting a shadow over
friendly relations between the two countries,' the
Turkish Foreign Ministry said in a written statement
released on Friday, Zaman newspaper reports.
On June 5 the Chilean Senate unanimously adopted a
resolution, which condemns the Armenian Genocide of
1915 perpetrated by the Ottoman Empire and called
governments of all countries in the world to join the
1985 document by the UN Sub-Commission on Prevention
of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities.
