Turkey recalls ambassador in Canada over Armenian dispute
Turkey recalled its ambassador in Canada’s capital Ottawa after a
commemoration night organized to mark the Armenian genocide, Hurriyet

attended the commemoration ceremony and made a speech despite warnings
made by the Turkish government. Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper
also sent a message to mark the occasion.
