US congressional panel’s resolution describing ‘genocide’ of Armenians could damage relations, warns Turkish PM Turkey’s prime minister warned of serious damage to US-Turkish relations today after a congressional committee approved a resolution describing the massacre of more than 1 million Armenians by the Ottoman empire during the first world war as genocide. Recep Tayyip Erdogan said his country had been accused of a crime it did not commit, adding that the resolution would hamper efforts by Turkey and Armenia to end a century of hostility . Turkey last night recalled its ambassador after the house foreign affairs committee approved 23-22 the non-binding measure despite objections from the Obama administration , which had warned that such a move would harm relations with Turkey – a Nato ally with about 1,700 troops in Afghanistan – and could imperil fragile reconciliation talks between Turkey and Armenia. The Turkish president, Abdullah Gul, called the resolution “an injustice to history and to the science of history”. Armenia applauded the passage of the measure, which its foreign minister, Edward Nalbandian, described as “an important step towards the prevention of crimes against humanity”. He added: “This is further proof of the devotion of the American people to universal human values and is an important step towards the prevention of crimes against humanity.” It remained unclear whether the resolution would come to a vote in the full house
