Official Ankara has started threatening Argentina. The Foreign
Ministry of Turkey has made a statement condemning the decision of
the Argentinean Senate connected with the Armenian Genocide.
Let us remind you that on December 13 the Senate has decided to declare
April 24 as "day of mutual respect and tolerance between nations",
and make it a non-working day for Armenian students and officials.
The statement mentions that "Turkey condemns and rejects the
accusations about the Genocide which is groundless from the historical
point of view".
According to agency "Trend", Turkey has informed Argentina that the
decision will have a negative impact on the relations between the
two countries and has voiced hope that the President of Argentina
will not ratify the Senate decision.
