国际英语新闻:Turkey slams Pope's "genocide" remarks over Armenian killings
ANKARA, June 27 (Xinhua) -- Turkey on Monday slammed Pope Francis' use of the term "genocide" to describe the Ottoman-era mass killings of Anatolian Armenians.
Pope Francis' remarks show his unconditional commitment to the Armenian narrative, the Turkish Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
It said that the Pope's trip to Armenia did not make any contribution to peace and stability in Southern Caucasus that has been witnessing clashes.
Local reports noted that Turkey will soon summon the current chief of the diplomatic mission of the Holy See in Ankara in order to express its uneasiness over Pope Francis' use of the term "genocide" to describe the 1915 killings.
The next step will likely be summoning the top Vatican diplomat, Angelo Accattino, in Ankara, Hurriyet News reported.
