Mesrob Mutafyan, Patriarch of Turkish Armenians, spoke against
the Armenian Genocide resolution approved by the US 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 during the visit 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 said that they will do everything in their 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," the Turkish Press reports.
