Turkey's prime minister and the EU have criticised a court ruling ordering the cancellation of a conference about the 1915 killing of thousands of Armenians.
The conference of academics was to debate Turkey's official approach to the disputed events of 90 years ago.
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said stopping a meeting, when it was not clear what would be discussed, had nothing to do with democracy.
An EU spokeswoman said it was a bid to stop Turkey discussing its history."
