President Joe Biden's declaration that the massacres of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire constituted genocide is simply outrageous and Turkey will respond in various ways over the coming months.

ISTANBUL - US President Joe Biden's declaration that the massacres of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire constituted genocide is"simply outrageous" and Turkey will respond in various ways over the coming months, Turkey's presidential spokesman said on Sunday.

Kalin did not specify whether Ankara would restrict US access to the Incirlik air base in southern Turkey, which has been used to support the international coalition fighting Islamic State in Syria and Iraq, or other measures it may take. For decades, measures recognising the Armenian genocide stalled in the US Congress and most US presidents have refrained from calling it that, stymied by concerns about relations with Turkey and intense lobbying by Ankara.
