Harper that he made on the Armenian Genocide. During an on-line survey
“Do you think Stephen Harper acted correctly by recognizing the
Armenian Genocide,” 97% of readers answered affirmatively, while 3%
said “no”.
In April Canadian PM recognized the Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Turkey
in 1915. The Turkish MFA called the statement “insulting and having
