‘Turkey of our days mostly depends on the outward forces’

“Dozens of decades ago the process of recognition of Genocide [of 1915] has been starting in Europe. So, the similar situation to the one at the U.S. Congress has taken place before,” quotes DayAz agency Azerbaijani deputy Sabyr Rustamkhanly commenting the approval of the Resolution 252 by the U.S. House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee.

Before the powers regarded Turkey, but now the situation has changed, said politician: “This is not the same Turkey that Ataturk founded.”

“Turkey of our days mostly depends on the outward forces. So it’s not easy to say whether the U.S. Congress will pass the Resolution on Genocide or not.

It’s worth mentioning that the House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee passed on March 4 the Resolution, declaring mass killings, deportations and executions, committed against Armenians, in Turkey in 1915 as Genocide, by a vote of 23 to 22.
