Erdogan probably heard about this development.

Press Release

WASHINGTON, D.C. – This week, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.Res. 296, a bipartisan resolution to recognize and memorialize the Armenian Genocide.
.....

Rep. Stevens Applauds House Recognition of the Armenian Genocide

I can't say what would have been the best response, if any, that the President in his position could have made.

I know that I would have been tempted to throw my shoe at him, but that wouldn't be good foreign policy.

His enemies call the President undiplomatic every time he takes a strong stand, and then they whine about it when he follows normal diplomatic procedure.
His devotees call the President great when he takes a strong stand and they also call him great when he shows tremendous weakness; they also call a lot of his weak positions "strong stands".

It's not really surprising. Trump admires strong men demagogues, not international consensus among liberal democracies.

4 out of 5 Dictators prefer President Trump brand presidents over the other leading presidents.
