Turkey has condemned the parliament of Luxembourg for recognizing the 1915 Armenian genocide in the Ottoman Empire and recalled its ambassador to the European Union country in protest.
"We condemn and strongly reject the unfair resolution the Luxembourg Parliament has adopted by distorting the historical facts and the law," the Turkish Foreign Ministry said in a statement released on Thursday evening.
"The resolution demonstrates that the Luxembourg Parliament is far from understanding the UN Convention of 1948 [on the crime of genocide] to which it refers and commits the same error with some of its role model parliaments," it said. "If Parliaments put themselves in the place of international courts and try to render judgments on such a serious crime such as genocide, they would abuse history and law."
