Ankara is disappointed with Canada's position on recognition of
so-called Armenian `genocide' in 1915 by Ottoman Empire and this
disappointment has been brought to the attention of official Ottawa,
informed Trend basing on conversation of Turan Morali, the ambassador
of Turkey in Azerbaijan with journalists on May 12, 2006.
«Canada has chosen a wrong position and this policy may lead to
definite undesirable political results from the point of view of
development of cooperation between the two countries' said T. Morali.
Concerning the position of France on so-called Armenian `genocide'
the Turkish ambassador said he hoped that with Ankara's efforts, the
bill implying imprisonment for denying Armenian `genocide' would not
be approved in France's Senate.
Estimation of historical events is not a competency of Senate, which
is confirmed by declaration of 400-500 historians, who signed the
document appealing to prevent acceptance of similar bills.
