complicated with a conflict between the two countries~R protocols
services. Turkish party refused pointblank to satisfy the demand
of Ukraine to visit a memorial to Holodomor victims, an obligatory
procedure for all official visits.
The reaction of Ukraine~Rs guests was predictable. Turkey, accused
of being 1915 Armenian Genocide perpetrator, has a painful reaction
to similar historic events in other countries. ~SVictor Yushenko~Rs
request for Turkey to recognize 1930 Holodomor as genocide considerably
aggravated bilateral relations,~T Kommercant Ukraine cited a local
diplomat as saying.
