Milliyet Refutes Armenian Media Sources

Turkish local daily Milliyet refuted reports by some Armenian media sources that Ankara, in an attempt to counter the adoption of the US congressional resolution recognizing the Armenian Genocide, was going to close down McDonald’s restaurants across Turkey.

According to the paper, the report “made up” and disseminated by Armenian media sources mentioned that Turkey was going to close down the chain because of the poor quality of the food it serves. Some other Armenian media, however, say the real cause is Armenian Genocide Resolution 252 adopted by US congressional Committee on Foreign Relations.
