Canada honors Turkish diplomat with monument
Foreign Minister Ahmet DavutoÄ?lu stood alongside his Canadian
counterpart on Sept. 20 to dedicate a memorial to a Turkish military
attaché, three decades after he was gunned down by Armenian militants
in Ottawa. The memorial to Col. Atilla Altıkat is `a monument
condemning terrorism,’ he said, adding that stood in memory to terror
victims, the Hurriyet Daily news reports.
ErdoÄ?an had been due to travel to New York between Sept. 22 and 25 and
to give a speech at the U.N. Assembly, where he was expected to push
the U.N. to recognize Islamophobia as a crime against humanity.
The prime minister took the decision to cancel his trip to New York
after a meeting with his party deputes and secretary general on Sept.
20.
President Abdullah Gül had earlier been scheduled to attend the U.N.
Assembly but canceled due to a chronic ear infection.
