National: Armenian minister heading to Ottawa
Armenia's foreign minister, Vartan Oskanian, will pay a politically
charged visit to Ottawa next Wednesday, six months after the Harper
government formally recognized the Armenian genocide and angered its
NATO ally Turkey in the process. In April, Prime Minister Stephen
Harper acknowledged the Armenian genocide of 1915 in which 1.5
million people were killed. The statement angered Turkey, resulting
in the country's ambassador to Canada being called back for
consultations, and the Turkish air force pulling out of a training
exercise in Alberta.
