Turkey recalls Canada ambassador over genocide
 [Al Arabiya Latest] Turkey has recalled its ambassador to Canada for consultation, said a Foreign Ministry source on Wednesday, after Canada's prime minister spoke at a vigil to commemorate the 1915 killing of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire.Premier Stephen Harper gave support on Tuesday to claims that the 1915 killings by Ottoman Turks amounted to genocide, the source said, a term fiercely rejected by Ankara, which says many were killed on both sides. "The ambassador has been called back is currently going through consultations over what to do. We don't know how long he will be here," the source said. Posted by: Fred 2009-04-23 |
