Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu labeled the April 24 statement by U.S. President Barack Obama as “not right and acceptable,” Today’s Zaman reported.

Davutoglu said that Turkey “is against judging the history with political motives.” “The history can only be researched by historians, and such historical incidents should be discussed by the countries which are directly related with the issue,” he said. “Neither executive bodies nor parliaments can make such historical judgments. This is unacceptable. The efforts to perceive the history in a one-sided aspect cause an injustice.”

Releasing a statement, Turkish Foreign Ministry also said, "we deeply regret this statement which reflects an incorrect and one-sided political perception."
