Turkey Rejects Critics and Claims to Exceptionalism in Foreign Affairs
Turkey's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has dismissed accusations made by the French Senate about the Ottoman period's treatment of Assyrians and Chaldeans. In a statement made by Ambassador Tanju Bilgiç, the spokesperson for the ministry, Turkey refused to take history lessons from anyone. The ambassador went on to criticize the French Senate for its "shortsighted attempt" lacking legal and historical basis. Bilgiç claimed the action only served to harm the French Senate's reputation, and they should focus on their own history before directing any lessons towards Turkey. The French Senate's resolution generated controversy and opposition from Turkey, who rejects its historical perspective.
