MUSEUM CRISIS WITH NORWAY

Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul strongly criticized the
Norwegian government when he learned that a special part will be
allocated for the Armenians in the Genocide Museum to be opened in
(Norwegian capital of) Oslo. Being warned by Turkish FM Gul and
Foreign Ministry Undersecretary Ali Tuygan during his visit to
(Turkish capital of) Ankara, Norwegian State Secretary Kim Traavik
said, ”the museum is being opened by initiatives of a private
foundation, not with state incentive. So, as the government, we have
nothing to do.”
