SWISS FM MAKES STRANGE COMMENT

HURRIYET- Swiss Foreign Minister Micheline Calmy-Rey met Foreign
Minister Abdullah Gul in Ankara. The visit of the Swiss minister to
Turkey planned for 2003 didn’t take place after the parliament of a
western Swiss canton recognized the so-called Armenian genocide
claims. During the meeting, Calmy-Rey made a strange proposal to
Turkey about the Armenian claims saying that Turkey should be warm to
the idea of foundation of an international commission.
