BUENOS AIRES, MAY 20, ARMENIANS TODAY – NOYAN TAPAN. Turkey plans
to recall its ambassador from Argentina to Ankara for "political
consultations," in reaction to Buenos Aires’ recognition of the
Armenian Genocide. Ambassador Hayri Hayret Yalav is expected to be
recalled to review bilateral relations with Argentina. Argentinean
Ambassador to Turkey Brugo Marco is currently in Buenos Aires.

In April 2008, Argentina’s Senate proclaimed April 24 the Day of
Reconciliation and Respect. The Turkish Foreign Ministry announced
that the move conflicts with historical facts and is a violation of
the international law, and State Minister Mehmet Aydin cancelled
a planned April 28-29 visit to Argentina, which hosted -Alliance
of Civilizations- initiative meant to promote dialogue between the
Islamic and Western publics.
