    YEREVAN, DECEMBER 14, ARMENPRESS: The Senate of Argentina has endorsed
    a bill passed earlier by its parliament designating April 24 as
    the Day of Tolerance and Respect Among Nations. The date- April 24-
    was chosen in memory of the Armenian Genocide.

    The bill had been approved by the lower house by a vote of 175 to 2
    on November 29. The Armenian National Committee of South America said
    the bill will be sent to the approval of the president of the country.

    Turkish foreign ministry condemned the approval of this resolution,
    saying in a statement that 'Argentina's move did not comply with
    historical facts and spirit of bilateral relations between Turkey
    and Argentina."
