Turkey's trade minister has canceled a trip to the United States
in response to a U.S. House panel vote last week that recommended
labeling the World War I-era killings of Armenians as genocide.
Zafer Caglayan was scheduled to depart for the U.S. on March 19 with
a large business delegation, the Hurriyet Daily News & Economic
Review reports. The governmental decision was made Monday during
consultations with the country's ambassador to Washington, who had
earlier been recalled in a show of protest.
