    TURKEY CONDEMNS ARGENTINE "ARMENIAN GENOCIDE" RESOLUTION


    Ankara, 15 September: Turkish MFA [Ministry of Foreign Affairs] has
    condemned a resolution of the Cordoba local parliament in Argentina
    that declares 24 April as the day to commemorate the so-called
    "Armenian genocide" and that makes the genocide part of the textbooks
    that students must read.

    "We condemn the resolution with deep sadness and find it
    unacceptable. The incidents that took place in 1915, a period during
    World War I, are still being discussed by historians. Respectable
    historians all across the globe have proved that all Armenian
    allegations of a so-called genocide are baseless. Cordoba local
    parliament's resolution will have a negative impact on the developing
    ties between Turkey and Argentina," said the MFA statement.
