Daily Sabah reported that the incident garnered a considerable amount of reaction on social media in Turkey, adding that the US Embassy removed the message from its Twitter page.
Speaking to Daily Sabah, a U.S. Turkish Embassy official said that it was a mistake in terms of translation and the embassy offered apologies for the mistake on the sensitive issue.

it is the duty of the Armenian government to take the case to ICJ – international court of justcie and pursue
we all know what happen instead of waisting our efforts on deaf ear our government needs to do the following and take turkey to icj
US recognized the Armenian Genocide in 1951 and Ronald Reagan reaffirmed it we can not press every president to use the G word everytime they take office , we need to use our efforts on reparations not recognition it has been recognized all ready.
Oh darn. I was hoping somebody in our State Dept. might have actually grown a pair. Sigh…
IT IS THE TRUTH ERMENI SOYKIRIM (ARMENIAN GENOCIDE) THE US EMBASSY TOLD THE TRUTH, YOU CAN NOT HIDE FROM THE TRUTH NO MATTER WHAT. TURKEY BLACK MAILING THE U.S.A. ABOUT THE TRUE FACT OF THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE. WILL NOT WORK. THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS AND RECOGNIZES THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE COMITTED BY TURKEY.
The tail wags the dog; turkey the most powerful nation on the planet brings the US to its knees time and time again and the US treats turkey like an addict in the family, not willing to hold them accountable because they’re somehow thinking their love affair will be shattered. . The more we empower turkey the more brazen their actions in the Middle East.
Who did they offer apologies to? The Perpetrators or the victims? Shame on them, twice!!!
