    America, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan canceled a
    scheduled two-day visit to Argentina May 30 to 31.

    Turkish foreign ministry officials said Erdogan was was supposed to
    attend the inauguration in Buenos Aires of a monument to the founder
    of modern Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk.

    But, city officials called off the event due to "hostile" interference
    from Armenian pressure groups.

    Turkey and Armenia are still in dispute over the 1915 massacre of
    Armenians by the Ottoman Turks.

    Ankara has adamantly refused to recognize the mass killing as genocide
    despite the fact that 42 countries, including Argentina, have done so.

    The Turkish foreign ministry said, "Argentine authorities are expected
    to take necessary steps to remove the shadow cast on relations between
    Turkey and Argentina after the wrong decision made by autonomous
    Buenos Aires administration."

    The ministry added that from Brazil, Erdogan is proceeding to Chile.
