Turkey's aviation authorities are said to have cancelled a special
April 24 flight from Istanbul to Yerevan in an attempt to prevent
an earlier reported civil society initiative to pay respect to the
Armenian Genocide victims.
The paper says that the organization Dorghe, which is an umbrella for
several NGOs, had earlier announced a plan for carrying out a visit
to Armenia on the Genocide Remembrance Day. According to the paper,
that the decision to cancel the flight might have been made in the
wake of Turkey's recent hysteria over Pope Francis's remarks on the
Genocide and the European Parliament's resolution adopted in the
run-up to the big tragedy's centennial.
