Turkey will do everything possible to hold European Parliament from
passing a resolution to recognize the Armenian Genocide of 1915,
says Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Tanju Bilgic.
To that end, he said, Turkey's officials will visit the European
Parliament to meet with Martin Schultz, Trend reports referring to
Hurriyet Daily News.
According to Bilgic, Turkey has already taken all possible measures
to prevent a similar resolution of the Danish Parliament.
Turkey is against "one-sided assessment of the events of 1915 and
their use as a measure of political pressure on Ankara," he said.
Vice-President of the European Parliament Ulrike Lunacek highlighted
the necessity of the adoption of the resolution on the Armenian
Genocide to be discussed on April 14-15 at the European Parliament,
which will suggest and commission EU member-states' national
Parliaments and Governments to adopt appropriate resolutions and
decisions on recognition and condemnation of the fact.
