Ankara, 11 May: Turkey’s ambassadors to France and Canada returned to
their posts on Thursday after having consultations in Turkish capital
of Ankara regarding so-called Armenian genocide allegations.
Turkey’s Ambassador in Paris Osman Koruturk and Ambassador in Ottawa
Aydemir Erman arrived in Ankara at the beginning of this week to have
consultations over recent baseless Armenian genocide allegations in
these two countries.
Koruturk and Erman participated in meetings held at the Turkish Foreign
Ministry, and were received by President Ahmet Necdet Sezer and Prime
Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Canadian parliament has adopted a resolution, acknowledging the
Armenian claims, while Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper have
made remarks in which he qualified unfounded Armenian allegations as
“genocide”.
On the other hand, French parliament will debate a bill on May 18th
which makes any denial of the so-called Armenian genocide a crime.
