Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu reiterated his government's
position that it would like to set up a joint commission with
Armenians to discuss the 1915 events.
His remarks came as he arrived in Canada to open the monument to Col.
Atilla Altikat who was killed 30 years ago allegedly by Armenian
terrorists, ctvnews.ca reports.
`If Canada wants to contribute to the Turkish-Armenian reconciliation,
the best way is to contribute in forming joint commissions, speaking
with both sides about a fair and just memory and working together,'
said Turkish MP adding that it was `unacceptable' for a nation to be
accused of Genocide.
His Canadian counterpart John Baird did not back away from his
government's earlier position but said the dialogue is necessary.
The government of Canada recognized the Armenian Genocide in 2006.
