/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkey has summoned its ambassador to Buenos Aires
for consultations in Ankara in order to review bilateral relations
with Argentina, which adopted a bill marking April 24 as The Action
Day for Tolerance and Respect between Peoples for the Memory of the
Armenian Genocide. In a written statement released yesterday, Turkish
Foreign Ministry spokesman Levent Bilman said Turkish Ambassador in
Buenos Aires Hayri Hayret Yalav was summoned to the ministry for
political consultations to determine what measures will be taken
after the adoption of the bill. Turkey deplored and rejected the
adoption of the bill by the Argentinean president, saying that it was
unethical and far from being serious. Bilman said in the statement
that the Turkish side expected the Argentinean government to seek
ways to clarify the situation. At the ministry, Yalav informed Foreign
Minister Abdullah Gul of the situation in detail, said the statement,
reports the Turkish Daily News.
