The Foreign Ministry of Turkey has made a statement following Austria's resolution recognizing the Armenian Genocide.
"The statement of the Austrian parliament will leave permanent stains on Turkish-Austrian friendship," the ministry said. "It should be known that Turkey and the Turkish nation will not forget this slander uttered against their history," the ministry said in the statement. "It seems that Austria, with whom we fought on the same side during World War I : has also fallen prey to the efforts of some circles bent on manipulating perceptions, in complete insistence in ignoring the humanitarian and concrete initiatives of Turkey."
"As such, this outrageous behavior is rigorously rejected by Turkey. It will not be possible to lay the burden of such a great crime, which it has not committed, on Turkey's shoulders through political pressures of any kind," the ministry said.
It is noteworthy that Turkish ambassador in Vienna has been recalled "for consultations." A similar hysteria was in Turkey after Pope Francis recognized the Genocide of Armenia.
