/PanARMENIAN.Net/ On 14 October, Mesrob Mutafyan, Patriarch of Turkish
Armenians, voiced opposition to the Armenian Genocide Resolution
which was approved by the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on
Foreign Affairs.
Patriarch Mutafyan visited the Santa Clause Church in Demre town of the
southern city of Antalya. He told reporters that the resolution became
"a tool of domestic policy in the United States", and called on people
to exclude Turkish citizens of Armenian origin from discussions over
the issue.
He promised to do everything in his power to prevent passage of the
resolution by the full House.
Recalling that Prime Minister Erdogan earlier proposed Armenia to set
up a joint commission of historians to deal with the issue, Mutafyan
added that it was "a significant offer", Anatolia News Agency reports.
