    Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan canceled a trip to
    Argentina on Sunday after Buenos Aires authorities halted the display
    of a bust of Turkey\'s founder, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk.

    Turkey\'s Foreign Ministry said in a statement the two-day visit, which
    was to have begun Sunday, had been canceled, and it hoped Argentina
    would take steps to remove the shadow cast on Turkish-Argentine
    relations. It said that Buenos Aires district was reversed as a result
    of initiatives by the Armenian lobby.

    Argentina\'s president spoke with Erdogan to explain she could not
    overrule the decision, yet he found this unacceptable and decided
    not to go, the statement added.
