“Turkey should be called on the mat,” writes the Canadian “Globe and
Mail” electronic newspaper.

According to the source, the faint attempts of Turkish authorities
to tear the diplomatic relations with Canada because of Stephan
Harper’s bold statements about the Armenian Genocide speak about the
self-destroying nature of the Republic of Turkey.

“Such activity does not correspond to European norms, morally stable
countries should not demonstrate tolerance towards the actions of
Turkish authorities,” the newspaper writes.

To remind, Turkish Ambassadors to France and Canada Osman Koruturk and
Aydemir Erman have been temporarily recalled for holding consultations
on the probable adoption of the law penalizing Armenian Genocide
deniers by the French Parliament. The Ambassador of Turkey to Canada
was recalled, since Canada intends to recognize the 1915 events
as genocide.
