Turkish President Abdullah Gul denounced Thursday as 'unacceptable' the endorsement of a measure branding as genocide the Ottoman massacres of Armenians by a key US congressional committee. 'This unacceptable decision of the committee... has no validity and respectability for the Turkish people,' Gul told the Anatolia news agency, cited by AFP. 'Unfortunately, some politicians in the United States ignored appeals for common sense and once again moved to sacrifice big issues to petty games of domestic politics,' he said."
