Turkey slams pope's 'baseless' statement on Armenia genocide
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu on Sunday slammed as
"baseless" and "far from the historical reality" Pope Francis' use of
the word "genocide" to describe the massacres of Armenians by Ottoman
forces during World War I.
"The pope's statement, which is far from the legal and historical
reality, cannot be accepted," Cavusoglu said in a statement on
Twitter.
"Religious authorities are not the places to incite resentment and
hatred with baseless allegations," he added.
