Ankara - Turkey reacted angrily yesterday to a European Parliament resolution formally accusing Turkey of genocide against Armenians 85 years ago, and opposition leaders called for an investigation to clear the country's name.

"We propose launching a parliamentary investigation . . . with the aim of removing wrong and biased opinions," the main opposition Islamic Virtue Party said. It added that parliament should consider recommending what it called necessary measures on the subject.
