ATHENS - Around 300 Greeks of Armenian descent marched on the
Turkish embassy in Athens on April 15 to mark the 91st anniversary
of massacres allegedly committed against their kin by the Ottoman
Empire during World War I. The message warned Ankara that "the gates
of Europe, which it so greatly desires to cross, will remain closed"
if it continues to refuse to recognize the 1915-17 massacre. Turkey
is seeking to join the European Union, of which Greece is a member.
