Armenian Genocide. Turkish Diplomats Getting Ready for Opposition
By suggestion of the Foreign Ministry, Turkish diplomatic missions voiced caution about a possible move to seek international arbitration on the Armenian Genocide issue, a growing thorn in Turkish policy worldwide, reports Turkish Daily News. Discussion of a proposed new strategy was initiated by Foreign Minister Abdullah Gül to confront growing international pressure to recognize the Armenian Genocide at the hands of the Ottoman Empire. Turkish diplomatic missions in Europe and the United States should be ready to response to the Armenian campaign worldwide and elaborate new strategy on the Armenian Genocide issue, the Turkish MFA said.
