Turkish Foreign Ministry has spread a statement, in which it protests against the resolution passed recently by the European Parliament calling on Turkey to recognize the Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Turkey in 1915 and to open the Turkish-Armenian border. The statement notes that official Ankara considers the accusations of genocide groundless. The Turkish Foreign Ministry views the resolution passed to be contrary to the efforts directed towards development of cooperation between Turkey and the European Union. Moreover, official Ankara considers that these steps of the European Parliament will not contribute to the efforts to secure stability in the Caucasus and those to improve relations between Turkey and Armenia.
