    Ankara, 11 March - The Turkish Foreign Ministry recalled its ambassador
    to Sweden for consultations following a resolution adopted by the
    Swedish Parliament to officially recognize the killings of Armenians
    in the last years of the Ottoman Empire as genocide.

    Contemporaneously the Turkish government cancelled an upcoming visit
    of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan to Stockholm.

    Stockholm's Foreign Minister Carl Bildt said he regretted the
    resolution voted by the Parliament after members of the majority
    teamed up on behalf of the issue with the red-green opposition. The
    resolution was passed by just on vote.
