Turkish President Abdullah Gul has warned the US of "serious problems" for the relations between the two countries after a congressional committee recognised as genocide the 1915-17 mass killings of Armenians by Ottoman Turks.
The resolution is "unacceptable" and "doesn't fit a major power like the United States", Abdullah Gul said in a statement, published on his Web site.
In a letter to Bush, Gul warned that "in the case that Armenian allegations are accepted, there will be serious problems in the relations between the two countries."
The resolution was passed by the House Foreign Affairs Committee by a 27-21 vote on Wednesday evening defying opposition from US President George W. Bush.
It says that the deportation of nearly two million Armenians from the Ottoman Empire between 1915 and 1923, resulting in the deaths of 1.5 million of them, was "systematic" and "deliberate," amounting to "genocide."
The Armenian government and Armenians around the world, including many Armenian-Americans, have been pressing for international recognition of their contention that their people were the victims of genocide at the hands of the Ottoman Turks.
