Speaking about the initiative to issue an apology for World War I-era
killings of Armenians at the hands of the Ottomans, Foreign Minister
Ali Babacan over the weekend said that Turkey has freedom of speech
and that he cannot stand against this liberty. He added, however,
that the campaign, conducted in the midst of Turkey's European Union
negotiation process, could weaken Ankara's hand and even harm the
process.
