TURKEY’S AMBASSADOR TO RETURN TO SWEDEN

Taiwan News
March 25 2010

Turkey’s foreign minister says its ambassador to Sweden will return
to Stockholm by the start of the week.

Turkey recalled ambassador Zergun Koruturk earlier this month after
Sweden’s parliament narrowly approved a resolution recognizing the
World War-I killings of Armenians as genocide.

Ahmet Davutoglu told CNN-Turk in an interview broadcast late Wednesday
that Turkey was "satisfied" by Swedish government statements opposing
the parliament’s move.

Turkey also recalled its ambassador to Washington after U.S.

congressional committee approved a similar resolution.

Historians estimate that up to 1.5 million Armenians were killed by
Ottoman Turks. Turkey denies that the deaths constituted genocide,
saying those killed were victims of civil war and unrest.

“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
