Establishment of Ataturk monument in Buenos Aires insults not
only Argentina's Armenian community but also Argentinean society,
a statement issued by Hay Dat office in South America said.
"Ataturk continued with the policy of extermination of Armenians; he
is the one responsible for Armenian Genocide negation policy practiced
until today by Recep Tayyip Erdogan-headed Turkish government."
Hay Dat office in South America welcomes the decision by Buenos
Aires city officials to call off an event inaugurating a monument
to Ataturk. "Turkish Prime Minister is responsible for cancellation
of Turkish delegation's official visit to Argentina, which proves
Erdogan's intolerance and lack of interest in development of relations
with the country.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan cancelled the Argentina
leg of his tour of Latin America.
It came after city officials in Buenos Aires called off an event
inaugurating a monument to Mustafa Kemal Ataturk.
The Turkish foreign ministry blamed "hostile" interference from
Armenian pressure groups in Argentina.
President Cristina Kirchner is reported to have telephoned Mr Erdogan
to express her understanding of his position, but to explain that the
central government could not reverse the city government's decision,
BBC News reported.
