After Swedish Parliament voted for resolution on Armenian genocide,
Swedish Ambassador to Turkey Christer Asp was summoned to the Turkish
Foreign Ministry on March 12, reads Swedish the Local English-language
newspaper.

"One will naturally express regret over the parliament’s decision
and present one’s own view on the issue," the source says Christer
Asp told TT news agency.

The newspaper also quotes Turkish Ambassador to Sweden Zergun
Koruturk recalled after the Genocide Resolution motion passed in
Riksdag. "I’m disappointed and somewhat surprised because I expected
the parliament to adopt the normal position that it is not the job of
parliamentarians to decide whether or not a genocide has taken place,"
she told to Swedish TT agency, adding this will have a drastic impact
on Sweden-Turkey relations.
