    National: Armenian minister heading to Ottawa


    Armenia's foreign minister, Vartan Oskanian, will pay a politically
    charged visit to Ottawa next Wednesday, six months after the Harper
    government formally recognized the Armenian genocide and angered its
    NATO ally Turkey in the process. In April, Prime Minister Stephen
    Harper acknowledged the Armenian genocide of 1915 in which 1.5
    million people were killed. The statement angered Turkey, resulting
    in the country's ambassador to Canada being called back for
    consultations, and the Turkish air force pulling out of a training
    exercise in Alberta.
