Turkey strongly condemned the decision of the Mexican Senate to recognize the Armenian claims about the events of 1915

The Secretariat has published a written statement on the decision of the Mexican Senate on the events of 1915.

In the statement, “The resolution adopted by the Mexican Senate on February 8, 2023 and which recognizes the events of 1915 as ‘genocide’ is an invalid attempt to rewrite history for political reasons. We strongly reject and condemn this decision. We remind you that legislatures have no authority to interpret and judge history.” Expressions were used.

In the statement, it was pointed out that said attempt clearly violated the United Nations (UN) Convention for the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide and the decisions of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) that confirm that the events of 1915 were a matter It was also emphasized that it was unfortunate that the earthquake survivors in Turkey coincided with a time when search and rescue activities were taking place, and that it was incompatible with Turkey-Mexico friendship.

“We invite the Mexican Senate to correct this misstep, instead of serving the agenda of some circles that seek to create hostility from the story,” the statement said. statements were included. (AA)
