Swedish PM expresses his sadness

In a press release issued on Saturday, the Turkish Prime Ministry indicated that Reinfeldt called Erdogan to express his sadness and disappointment over the Armenian resolution.

During the phone conversation, Erdogan stated that history should not be politicized in parliaments.

He said quote,"Turkey has opened all of its archives and these documents are ready for the close scrutiny of not only historians but also all global scholars and researchers. We have been extremely disappointment by the decision of the Swedish Parliament this week."

The Swedish parliament adopted on Thursday the resolution by 131 votes against 130 votes.

Turkey strongly rejects the genocide allegations and regards the events as civil strife in wartime which claimed lives of many Turks and Armenians.
