The decision of the Latvian parliament to recognize the events of 1915 as "genocide" is an attempt to rewrite history with political motives, is illegal, and has no legal basis. We reject and condemn this unsuccessful and illegal decision, according to the statement of Turkish MFA, APA’s bureau in Turkey reports.

The statement says that parliaments are not for writing history and making judgments.
