    VATICAN TO BE ABSENT FROM GALLIPOLI EVENTS

    The Holy See will not be represented at the commemoration ceremonies
    for the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Gallipoli on April 24-25,
    officials from the Vatican Embassy in Ankara told daily Hurriyet on
    April 21,

    Vatican Embassy officials cited "the cardinal's unwellness" as
    the reason the Vatican would be absent. The name of the Cardinal
    President of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace had been
    on the participant lists for the ceremonies updated by the Turkish
    Foreign Ministry on April 10.

    Bilateral relations between Turkey and the Vatican were strained when
    Pope Francis defined the 1915 mass killings of Anatolian Armenians as
    "genocide" during a Sunday mass earlier this month.
