ANKARA, Turkey (AP) - Turkey on Tuesday criticized Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper for remarks he made in support of recognizing the mass killings of Armenians during the First World War as genocide, and warned that such statements threatened to harm Turkish-Canadian relations.
In a statement on April 21, Harper recalled that Canada's Senate and House of Commons had adopted resolutions recognizing the killings as genocide and said, "I and my party supported those resolutions and continue to recognize them today."
