"Swiss and Turkish FMs Discuss Armenian Allegations
(JTW) - In response to Swiss Foreign Minister Micheline Calmy-Rey's comments that “Turkey should confront its past over the so-called Armenian genocide”, Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul has said that, "Turkey is sure of its past."
Gul disclosed on Tuesday that the invitation to examine the Ottoman archives is also open to France and Switzerland. Minister Gul asked Rey not to allow the Armenian Diaspora to ruin the relations between the two countries in a meeting in Ankara. The National Assembly of the Swiss parliament had decided to recognize the so-called ‘Armenian genocide’ two years ago, and following this, Rey's visit to Ankara had been postponed. The Swiss Minister is also reported to have excluded the Kurdish Workers' Party (PKK) from a list of terrorist organizations. The PKK is considered as ‘terrorist organization’ by the US, the UK and the EU."
