    Turkey slams pope's 'baseless' statement on Armenia genocide


    Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu on Sunday slammed as
    "baseless" and "far from the historical reality" Pope Francis' use of
    the word "genocide" to describe the massacres of Armenians by Ottoman
    forces during World War I.

    "The pope's statement, which is far from the legal and historical
    reality, cannot be accepted," Cavusoglu said in a statement on
    Twitter.

    "Religious authorities are not the places to incite resentment and
    hatred with baseless allegations," he added.
