    Turkey Issues Russia Diplomatic Notes on So Called Genocide

    The Turkish Foreign Ministry delivered a diplomatic note protesting a
    resolution in favor of the alleged Armenian genocide by the Russian
    Federation Federal Parliament, the Duma, on April 22.

    The Russian Ambassador to Ankara was summoned to the Turkish Ministry
    and he was told that the resolution was a very unfortunate one. The
    Turkish Ambassador to Moscow, Kurtulus Taskent, on the hand, went to
    the Russian Foreign Ministry and protested the resolution. Ankara
    declared that instead of supporting Turkey's positive intentions
    regarding the issue, making such a declaration is an unfortunate act
    by Russia in terms of restoring good relations. Ankara keeps contacts
    with Germany through top-level talks to avoid a similar resolution in
    that country. German Chancellor Gerhard Schroder will visit Turkey on
    May1-2 and objections that would derive from such a resolution will
    be raised by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Similar
    resolutions by the parliaments of three countries were prevented in
    2005. Fifteen countries have approved parliamentary resolutions, many
    after 1992 , on the recognition of the genocide allegations so far.
