Turkey Slates Argentina In Genocide Row, Cancels Visit
ANKARA (AFP)--Turkey slammed Argentina Friday over a new parliamentary
do***ent referring to the World War I killings of Armenians as genocide
and
canceled a visit to the country by a cabinet minister.
"The Argentine Senate has approved a new text sup****ting the baseless
Armenian allegations...(which) we strongly condemn and fully reject," the
foreign ministry said, without giving details about the do***ent.
"Following the adoption of this resolution, the visit of State Minister
Mehmet Aydin... was canceled," the statement said.
Aydin has been scheduled to travel to Buenos Aires Apr. 28-29 for a
gathering of the U.N.-sponsored Alliance of Civilizations initiative,
which
aims to foster dialogue between Islamic and Western societies and is
co-chaired by Spain and Turkey.
Argentina is among an array of countries that have recognized the mass
killings of Armenians under the Ottoman Empire as genocide, much to
Turkey's
ire.
Armenians say up to 1.5 million of their kinsmen died between 1915 and
1917
in de****tations and systematic killings during World War I.
Turkey categorically rejects the genocide label and argues 300,000
Armenians
and at least as many Turks died in civil strife when Armenians took up
arms
for independence and sided with Russian troops invading the crumbling
empire.
Armenia Thursday marked the 93rd anniversary of the start of killings and
its new president, Serzh Sarkisian, vowed to redouble efforts to have the
massacres internationally recognized as genocide.
