"Politicians and people who did not have any historical knowledge should not decide on matters related to history."
Turkey's president said on Thursday that he hoped everybody would see the inaccuracy of the political decisions on Armenian allegations regarding the incidents of 1915.
Turkish President Abdullah Gul replied to questions of reporters during his visit to the office of the mayor of southwestern Isparta province.
Upon a question on a recent resolution adopted by a US congressional panel and a similar decision to be discussed by the Swedish parliament regarding the Armenian allegations on incidents of 1915, Gul said such decisions had no respectability for Turkish nation.
"All these decisions are wrong and they constitute a great injustice to the science of history," he said.
Gul said that politicians and people who did not have any historical knowledge should not decide on matters related to history.
"I attach importance to peace, stability and cooperation. Therefore, solution of the problems in the Caucasus region is important for me," Gul said.
"I hope everybody will see the inaccuracy of such political decisions, which will harm peace and stability in the long term," the Turkish president added.
The US House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs adopted a resolution on Armenian allegations related to the incidents of 1915 in a voting of 23-22 last week.
