Turkish Consumers' Union called for a boycott on U.S.-made products in response to adoption of the Armenian Genocide Resolution by the U.S. House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
"We decided not to use U.S.-made products to protest the approval of the resolution," said Bulent Deniz, a spokesperson for the Turkish Consumers' Union on Thursday, Xinhua reports.
In protest to the House Committee's decision, cinemas screening American films were closed, McDonalds employees did not appear at work, Spiderman and Barbie dolls were burnt in some shops in Turkey.
