    TURKISH PM CANCELS TRIP TO ARGENTINA AFTER ARMENIAN MOVE

    Recep Tayyip Erdogan Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan cancelled
    his scheduled visit to Argentina due in May 30 and 31 within the
    context of his South America tour.

    A statement by the Foreign Ministry said the cancellation resulted
    from Buenos Aires Autonomous Administration's avoiding the opening
    of a previously scheduled Ataturk Monument upon the reactions from
    Armenian lobby.

    Upon the developments, Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu had talks
    with his Argentinean counterpart in the Alliance of Civilizations
    Forum and asked Argentinean government to stick by their pledge on
    the opening of the monument.

    Argentinean President called Erdogan and said they justified
    Turkey's reaction but could not exceed authority of the Autonomous
    administration in accordance with the Argentinean constitution.

    Prime Minister Erdogan, even though, cancelled his visit to this
    country noting that he did not find the attitude acceptable whatever
    the reason is.

    The statement further said Argentinean authorities are expected to
    take required steps to compensate the situation, which was shadowed
    by a wrong decision by anti-Turkey circles-led Buenos Aires Autonomous
    Administration, in the shortest time.
