    TURKEY SLAMS REUTERS FOR ARMENIAN GENOCIDE REMARKS?

    26.10.11

    In its report on the Saturday earthquake in southeastern Turkey,
    Reuters presented a brief overview of Van's history, speaking about
    its Armenian origins.

    It referred, among other things, to the Turkey-perpetrated Armenian
    massacres and deportations in the World War One period, a move that
    received the Turkish authorities' strong criticism.

    According to the Turkish Milliyet, Ankara made a tough response to
    the agency, urging it to re-edit the report on the Van earthquake.

    "If, instead of an earthquake, Van had seen political developments,
    we would have realized why the Reuters' editors choose that method
    of news reporting. But what happened in Van is a natural disaster. So
    what does Reuters' additional information have to do with the Kurdish
    population and the Armenian massacres?" said the paper.
