SWISS FOREIGN MINISTER ATTENDS WEF EVENT IN ISTANBUL

Swiss Foreign Minister Micheline Calmy-Rey is in Istanbul today for a
World Economic Forum meeting on Europe and Central Asia. Mrs Calmy-Rey
is expected to meet her Turkish counterpart, Ali Babacan. The meeting
follows a number of cancelled visits by Swiss cabinet ministers,
after a cooling of relations between Switzerland and Turkey. Tensions
were felt in 2003, after the federal cabinet recognised as genocide
the massacre of Armenians by Turkey between 1915 and 1916.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
