"Biden's statement on the events of 1915 has no legal or historical basis, but it will poison Turkish-US relations," Speaker of the Turkish Grand National Assembly Mustafa Shantop wrote this on his Twitter page, APA's local bureau reports.
The Speaker of the Parliament said that this statement, which is the product of political calculations, will not harm Turkey as a similar statement made by Ronald Reagan in 1981.
"The United States is a country having the dirtiest past," Shantop said.
