    TURKEY DEMANDS TO UNMOUNT ARMENIAN KHACHKAR IN BRATISLAVA

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Turkish Foreign Ministry is constantly sending
    notes of protests to the Slovakian MFA demanding to unmount the
    khachkar symbolizing the passage of the Armenian Genocide Resolution
    by the Slovakian parliament last year. At the worst, Ankara requires
    to rub off the inscription (the text of the resolution in Slovakian,
    English and Armenian).

    Upon receiving a rejection from the Slovakian MFA, Turkey charged
    its ambassador with a task to find substantiation for unmouting the
    khachkar, Bratislava's Petrzalka district prefect Milan Ftacnik said.

    "Turkey can nothing but resign itself to the fact that the Slovakian
    supreme power - the National Council - has recognized the Armenian
    Genocide," he said.

    The Turkish Foreign Ministry, however, attempted to question the
    legacy of building the monument and was checkmated, for the building
    process was irreproachable, Yerkir reports.
