Ankara, angered by the idea of placing a monument in Copenhagen and
in memory of the victims of the Armenian Genocide, has sent a letter
of protest to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) of Denmark.
The Turkish MFA believes that this monument, which will be placed
for ten days, offends the Turks living in Denmark.
Danish politicians, on the other hand, advised their Turkish
colleagues not to interfere in Denmark's affairs, reported the BBC
Russian Service.
To note, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had harshly criticized
Pope Francis for describing the massacre of Armenians in the Ottoman
Empire as the first genocide of the 20th century.
