Ambassador of Australia to Turkey, Peter Doyle said that Australian government is not inclined to intervene such issues and the decision of parliament of South Australia does not reflect the approach of Australian government.

Following the statement made by Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Turkey condemning recognition of so called Armenian genocide by South Australian Parliament, ambassador of Australia to Turkey, Peter Doyle said, “Australian government is not inclined to intervene such issues. Decision of South Australian state does not reflect approach of Australian government.”

Ambassador Peter Doyle issued a statement following the statement of Turkish Foreign Ministry condemning recognition of 1915 events as genocide of Armenian, Greek and Assyrians by Parliament of South Australia. Doyle stressed that decision of South Australian Parliament does not reflect the view of Australian government and said that the policy of Australia over this issue is clear. Australian government is not a party in this issue and it believes that the best way for resolving the dispute is dialogue between governments and people related the issue.
