/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Turkish Foreign Ministry is constantly sending
notes of protests to the Slovakian MFA demanding to unmount the
khachkar symbolizing the passage of the Armenian Genocide Resolution
by the Slovakian parliament last year. At the worst, Ankara requires
to rub off the inscription (the text of the resolution in Slovakian,
English and Armenian).
Upon receiving a rejection from the Slovakian MFA, Turkey charged
its ambassador with a task to find substantiation for unmouting the
khachkar, Bratislava’s Petrzalka district prefect Milan Ftacnik said.
"Turkey can nothing but resign itself to the fact that the Slovakian
supreme power – the National Council – has recognized the Armenian
Genocide," he said.
The Turkish Foreign Ministry, however, attempted to question the
legacy of building the monument and was checkmated, for the building
process was irreproachable, Yerkir reports.
