    After Swedish Parliament voted for resolution on Armenian genocide,
    Swedish Ambassador to Turkey Christer Asp was summoned to the Turkish
    Foreign Ministry on March 12, reads Swedish the Local English-language
    newspaper.

    "One will naturally express regret over the parliament's decision
    and present one's own view on the issue," the source says Christer
    Asp told TT news agency.

    The newspaper also quotes Turkish Ambassador to Sweden Zergun
    Koruturk recalled after the Genocide Resolution motion passed in
    Riksdag. "I'm disappointed and somewhat surprised because I expected
    the parliament to adopt the normal position that it is not the job of
    parliamentarians to decide whether or not a genocide has taken place,"
    she told to Swedish TT agency, adding this will have a drastic impact
    on Sweden-Turkey relations.
