adopted on the eve of the House of Representatives (lower house of parliament) Chile, a resolution on recognizing the events of 1915 in the Ottoman Empire “Genocide” has no strength.
This is stated in the statement of the Foreign Ministry of Turkey.
The department emphasized that “parliaments are not endowed with the authority to interpret the events that have taken place in the history and make judgments on them.”
“This resolution also contradicts the 1948 UN Convention on the prevention of a crime of genocide and punishment for it, which provides that a crime of genocide can be considered an exceptionally competent court,” the statement said.
